Compensation for Manufacturer Liability
Damages for manufacturer liability may include:
- Compensation for injuries or death
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Property damage
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
Strict Liability for Manufacturers
There are generally three theories of product liability:
- Negligence
- Strict liability
- Breach of warranty
Manufacturers are generally held to the strict-liability standard, which means that they are liable for injuries and damages caused by dangerous and defective products, regardless of whether they knew (or should have known) that the product was unsafe. In other words, even if the manufacturer took care not to produce a defective product, it could be responsible for any manufacturing defects in the product.
In order for a plaintiff to successfully pursue a manufacturer product liability case, he or she must prove the following:
- The product was defective at the time it left the manufacturer’s facility;
- The plaintiff was injured; and
- The plaintiff’s injuries were caused by the defective product.

"I can not speak highly enough"
I can not speak highly enough for the experience I have received from Cogan & Power Attorneys at Law. I was introduced to John Power through a mural friend. I was impressed from the very first phone call with John Power to us meeting through the pandemic. His professionalism and his medical knowledge is unbelievable… I have to say from that day moving forward John Power, Sara Davis and Kim Stefanek all put me at ease. My cases lasted just about 3 years and I was notified every step of the way on what was going forward and keeping me in the loop. John and Sara made sure that I was ready and comfortable for my Deposition, they made sure every stone was unturned! Kim Stefanek is one of their paralegals and she is awesome. I can go and I highly recommend Cogan & Power for your legal issues. John Power & Sara Davis are amazing attorneys and exceptional, caring, compassionate people!!
