When a product turns out to be faulty or defective and causes injury or harm, compensation for loss becomes not only important, but necessary.

Product defects can be as variable as life itself and can take on many forms. It can involve toys, appliances, tools, and many others items. Automobile defects is one that  we hear about fairly often involving brake failures, accelerator defects, airbag or seatbelt failures, tire defects and many more. When manufacturers discover these types of defects, recalls are then promoted to the public as a precautionary measure to prevent accidents or injuries. Any number of products can be discovered to be faulty and can cause harm to individuals. Even medical drugs that are promoted to be safe often turn out not to be and irreparable damage results.
