A product that is defective or comes with inadequate instruction can cause serious injuries and consequences. The company that manufactured the defective products may be liable for injuries inflicted in a product liability lawsuit.
Premises liability: A homeowner or business owes visitors a certain level of guaranteed safety. A premise liability personal injury case can come about when an individual gets hurt on someone else’s property due to an unsafe condition caused by negligence.
