  • The device was expected to not require any changes before being bought
  • The device was used for its intended purpose
  • The device injured the plaintiff or the device damaged property owned by the plaintiff

Types of Device Defects

Defective device lawsuits are complex cases that require attention to detail and an experienced defective device lawyer. To be considered defective, a device must first cause an injury to a user. The claims involving defective devices are dependent upon the state’s laws and may assert a breach of warranty, strict negligence, or negligence. When pursuing a defective device lawsuit, it is crucial to understand what type of defect the device falls under. There are three main types of Device defects:

Device Design Defects – This defect occurs during the beginning stages of a device. A defective design indicates that a device could malfunction due to its blueprint and that an entire batch of devices could be dangerous.
Device Manufacturing Defects – This defect occurs when there are issues during the device’s manufacturing stage. A manufacturing defect indicates that a device was not made to the exact design specifications and poses a danger to users. Manufacturers are the ones liable for any manufacturing defects caused by incorrect assembly.
Device Marketing Defects – This defect occurs when there are false claims about a device or a failure to warn of potential dangers. Warning labels inform consumers of the risks of using a device, but missing labels or mislabeled devices may cause injuries.

Defective Device Settlements

Every case is unique and the compensation awarded to victims is dependent on the specific circumstances of the claims. The damage and injuries caused by dangerous devices are normally compensatory, punitive, or special. Victims of this lawsuit may be eligible to receive compensation from damages such as:

  • Medical bills
  • Pain and suffering
  • Lost Wages
  • Emotional pain
