What damages are recoverable in a lawsuit for injuries arising out of a defective product?
Generally, the same damages recoverable in other negligence cases are recoverable in product cases. The most common types of compensatory damages recoverable are: physical and emotional pain and suffering, disability and impairment, loss of life’s pleasures, medical bills and lost wages. Others may apply as well. In cases where the unsafe product causes a death different damages apply which are set forth under the wrongful death heading.
