Background of Defective Product Law

It is unknown to most people that federal and local legislation exists to ensure the rights of consumers from faulty products which make manufacturing firms legally liable for injuries sustained by such items. These laws are traditionally referred to as product liability laws. Beyond defective motorcycle helmets, these laws extend to cover a variety of consumer products such as faulty seat belts, tires, child car seats, airbags, pharmaceutical products, children’s toys, medical devices, sporting goods such as fitness equipment and firearms as well as many domestic appliances like ovens and refrigerators.

Often these injuries stem from a defect in delight, manufacturing failing or poor labeling that does not feature requisite safety warnings or instructions. It is important to understand that product liability law entrusts the burden of proof to the one injured in the event. In other words, he or she faces the burden of providing evidence that illustrates a direct link from the product failure and the physical injuries suffered. In many cases, it can be challenging to show this causal relationship without an experienced attorney on your team.

Health Risks Related to Faulty Helmets

A faulty helmet can have serious implications for a victim in a motorcycle accident. In some cases, motorcyclists experience severe brain, neck and/or spine injuries that may preclude them from working again, thereby making them utterly dependent on loved ones. This presents a set of very difficult challenges both medically and financially for the victim and the family. It should be noted that many symptoms related to brain and/or neck injuries do not show themselves until after the damage has reached an acute level.

These forms of injury stemming from a faulty helmet may undermine the cognitive, physical and psychological capabilities of a victim, including their physical stature, mental acuity and overall disposition. Heightened risk for memory loss, seizure, stroke, internal bleeding, mental retardation, uncontrolled bodily functions, speech loss may occur. In more serious cases related to injury, victims experience complications such as impotence, gastrointestinal failure, blood clots, pneumonia, loss of strength, bladder control, chronic pain, spasms as well as paraplegia and quadriplegia.

Paralysis precipitating from paraplegia or quadriplegia can be extremely costly for victims and their families. Paraplegia constitutes a state of paralysis for a victim’s lower extremities marked by an injury that has occurred on the spine’s lower vertebrae. Quadriplegia, in contrast, involves paralysis of all four extremities, whereby injury has occurred at the upper vertebrae of the spine. In both cases, the victim will require a tremendous amount of emotional, psychological, medical and financial support to help them through the rest of their life.

Potential Financial Burden

The health conditions illustrated above that may result from a faulty motorcycle helmet can cost the family and support network of victims millions of dollars over time, especially if the victim is disabled can no longer work. The affiliated costs related to in-home nursing care, treatment, rehabilitation facilities and home rehab, transportation or skilled nursing home care, medication and/or medical equipment, given the needs of the victim, can be overwhelming for most families. It’s important to note that victims of these types of accidents and their loved ones in the past have endured significant financial challenges and at times have been forced into bankruptcy due to the costs associated with these types of medical costs and income loss.
