Finally, you should consult with a product liability attorney to discuss your rights and options for pursuing compensation for your injuries.

In a product liability case, you may be entitled to recover various types of compensation, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and punitive damages. The specific types and amount of compensation you may receive will depend on the circumstances of your case and the extent of your injuries.
