Defective products cause injuries to unsuspecting citizens fairly often. Some examples of defective products that cause injuries and even death include automobiles that have a high chance of rolling over, defective tires that “blow” unexpectedly, children’s toys that have small objects that children choke on, seatbelt and seatback failures, defective tools, fork lifts, and more. Companies that sell products to the public have a responsibility to test their products for safety so that consumers are not injured. Sometimes companies fail to test products, and sometimes their tests are insufficient. As a consumer, you should not be held accountable for the financial penalties that arise from such negligence. If you have incurred medical bills due to a defective product, the company who sold it to you and/or the manufacturer of the product should be held accountable. In addition, if your injury has caused you to be unable to work for any length of time, you could be reimbursed for the financial loss you incurred during this time. The fact is that a defective product that causes you injury should not also cause you financial burden. The injury was unnecessary and a financial burden is like salted added to your injuries.
