Can I file a lawsuit if the product cause me damage?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Andrew Tyler Velonis (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Andrew T. Velonis, P.C.
The manufacturer and seller of a product can be held liable for injuries caused by a defect of the product. You would have to prove that there was a defect in the design or manufacture of the product, or that they failed to adequately warn you of potential hazards, which resulted in your injury. That being said, eyelashes grow back, so I dont think the compensation for damages would justify the time and expense of bringing a lawsuit.

Can I sue a company if I was injured on their premises?

Answered by attorney David W. Craig
Personal Injury lawyer at Craig, Kelley and Faultless LLC
A company has a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. This includes the duty to warn you of any dangerous conditions. That is why businesses put out wet floor signs. This warns you of a potentially dangerous condition. The business in not liable just because you get hurt on its property. You must prove that there was a dangerous condition that they created, knew about or should have known about and didn't warn you. Just because you have a claim doesn't mean you have to sue. You have two years in Indiana to file a lawsuit. What happens typically, if you have a case, is to make a claim and try to negotiate a settlement. If that fails then you may want to file suit. In your case the business created the dangerous condition and did not warn you. Therefore you do have a claim and are entitled to be compensated. However it is likely that the business will try to blame you. Even if the business has a duty you also have a duty of being reasonable in your actions. For example, even if they mopped the floor and didn't put up a sign, but you knew that and chose to walk on the wet floor anyway, you would probably lose. A jury might not think that you acted reasonably.

Can I sue for my child getting injured on a field trip?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Gary Lee Platt (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Gary Lee Platt
Technically, if the school's acts (or failure to act) caused or contributed to your child's injuries, you probably have a good argument that they are liable. However, if all your child suffered was some scrapes, the amount of the damages you would be likely to collect is not worth the investment in time, money, and inconvenience to go forward with a lawsuit. It now costs as much as $400 or more to file the lawsuit, and will take upwards of 2 years or more to get to trial, these days. Your child may be required to submit to examination by a doctor hired by defense attorneys, and you will have to provide answers to written questions and requests for documents. Unless your child's injuries were serious and have lasting effects, it is probably not a good idea to resort to a lawsuit.
