Understanding the Severity of a Suffocation Risk
How hazardous is a risk of suffocation? Without a doubt, suffocation can cause death. Just a few minutes of suffocation could cause the death of an infant. However, suffocation is not exclusively associated with death. Survivors of suffocation could be left with permanent brain injuries. Even though the infant will survive, the permanent brain injuries suffered resulting from the suffocation will likely severely decrease his or her quality of life. Whether your infant lost his or her life or suffered permanent brain injuries as a result of the defective head and neck support accessory recalled by The Boppy Company, you will likely have grounds to take action and pursue a lawsuit. If you would like to learn more about the possibility of filing a claim after a defective product led to your infant’s suffocation, do not hesitate to contact our law firm as soon as possible.Understanding Product Liability
All companies have a duty of care to their consumers. They have the duty to ensure that all their products are safe for consumer use prior to making them available for purchase. This means that they must constantly subject their products to inspections and tests to be able to identify any possible hazards that represent a significant risk to consumers. Companies must address all hazards prior to making their products available for purchase. By failing to identify and address hazards in their products, they are breaching their duty of care to consumers; they are also putting their consumers at risk of suffering harm. When the harm that their consumers suffer is a direct result of their breach of duty, companies could be held accountable for all the harm their consumers suffer. In product liability cases, any defect in labeling, design, or manufacturing, could clearly make the consumer liable for the harm suffered. If you are certain that a product defect contributed to the harm that your infant suffered, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance as soon as possible.Your Right to Take Legal Action
Do you have the right to take action against the company that negligently made a defective product available to you? If the harm that your baby and your entire family suffered is directly related to the defective product, you will likely have grounds to pursue a claim. What type of claim could you pursue? The answer to that question depends on the specific details of your claim. In general, claimants could take some of the following actions:- File a product liability claim for the harm (such as permanent brain injuries) caused by the defective product
- File a wrongful death claim for the fatal harm suffered by the victim because of the defective product
- Participate in a class action lawsuit along with more victims of the defective product
What to do after being affected by a Defective Product
Unfortunately, many people lose their right to take action after being harmed by a defective product because they fail to take the appropriate actions. One of the most common mistakes that claimants make is following the suggestions laid out in the recall. The recall described above, for example, recommends that consumers contact the company for a full refund. Many people do not know that accepting a refund is a form of compensation. If you receive a refund, you are essentially giving away your right to request any other form of compensation. Another mistake that people make is sending the defective product back to the company. The defective product is the most important piece of evidence in a product liability claim; therefore, returning the product, getting the product repaired, or tampering with the product in any way will significantly reduce the chances of being able to file a successful claim. So, what should you do? What are the steps that you should take? The parties affected by defective products should always do the following:Could You Recover Compensation?
You and your family were harmed by a defective product? You have the right to file a claim, but do you have the right to recover compensation? Your right to recover compensation depends on the specific details of your claim. In general, injury claims and wrongful death claims result in at least some sort of compensation. How much compensation could you receive? What type of compensation could you be eligible to recover? Some of the compensation that is sometimes available for recovery includes the following:The Statute of Limitations for Your Claim
Without a doubt, you have the right to file a claim and receive compensation; however, you could lose your right to take action against your employer if you do not file your claim within the appropriate length of time. All claims are subject to a strict statute of limitations – a timeline that determines the length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claims are not filed within the appropriate length of time, claimants will likely lose their right to sue. What is the statute of limitations that applies to your claim? In general, product liability claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations, meaning that claimants will have two years to file their claims (in the state of California). However, specific details of your claim could affect the total length of time that you have to sue. Because of that, we always recommend that you discuss your claim with an expert and determine the timeline that applies to your claim before you unknowingly lose your right to sue.
