In Connecticut, the law provides strict protection for consumers who are injured as a result of a defective product.  The law permits you to recover lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, disability and punitive damages.  The Rojas Law Firm, LLC recently obtained a $1.3 million verdict in a product case.  There are several types of potentially defective products, which can result in product liability claims:

• Home tools and equipment, lawnmowers, power drills, table saws, etc.
• Workplace tools and equipment
• Kitchen equipment, such as commercial food mixers
• Foods and other edible products from grocery stores, fast foods and restaurants
• Baby Strollers, Baby Feeding Bottles, Children's Toys, Children Swings, Bikes, Sporting Goods
• Automobiles and Automobile Products (including Auto Recalls, Tires, Car Seats, Safety Belts Seats, Brakes etc.)
• Medicines (Pharmaceuticals, Over-The-Counter, Prescriptions, Diet Pills, Homeopathic Solutions, etc.)

 

Many product cases arise in the workplace.  It is important for you to know that in addition to bringing a worker’s compensation action, you might be able to assert a claim against the manufacturer and/or seller of the product.  If you think you have been injured because of a defective product, whether the accident happened at home, in the workplace or elsewhere, call us to discuss your case.  Call immediately, as the law has strict time limitations for bringing a product liability claim.
