Product liability lets you seek damages for injuries caused by defective drugs or devices, including design flaws, manufacturing problems, and inadequate warnings.
Common elements include proving defect, causation, and damages, while steps typically involve case evaluation, evidence gathering, expert analysis, and settlement or trial.
Below are concise definitions of terms commonly used in dangerous drug and medical device claims.
