Product Liability: If You Have Lost a Loved One Because of a Defective Consumer Product, You May Have a Kansas City Wrongful Death Claim.

All manufacturers have a responsibility to consumers to ensure their products are safe for use. No matter what kind of product, manufacturers, distributors and store owners are responsible for making sure the products that are sold to the public designed and made safely, that products contain full directions for safe use and that easy to understand warning labels tell of any dangers from normal or expected use.

When a person is killed because of a defective consumer product, the manufacturer, and sometimes the designer, distributor, or retailer, is considered legally liable, as long as the consumer was using the product as it was meant to be used when he or she was injured.

Common types of product liability claims include:

• Defective consumer products
• Defective or recalled children's products
• Defective and recalled automobiles and automobile parts
• Defective medical devices
• Defective or malfunctioning machinery
• Fires caused by consumer products

When wrongful deaths occur due to defective consumer products, the companies that manufacture and distribute these products can be held accountable. Filing a wrongful death lawsuit alleges that the victim died because of a defect in the product and that his surviving family is entitled to monetary compensation for their loss.

Wrongful death damages include any expenses incurred because of the injury that led to the death, such as medical bills, and the conscious pain and suffering the deceased may have suffered between the onset of injury and the death. Family members may also recover damages for pecuniary loss, funeral expenses, and for the value of the services, consortium, companionship, comfort, instruction, guidance, counsel, training, and support that the deceased provided to the family.
