Class Action Lawsuit: Making Someone Pay for Your Injuries

Mass personal injuries, or injuries caused to multiple victims, are most commonly caused by two kinds of tort cases – personal injury accidents and product liability cases. People who suffered injuries because of these two reasons may sue the responsible party by filing a product liability or personal injury class action lawsuit. The following are some steps you may consider when filing a class action lawsuit for product liability or personal injury:

Product liability

There are two instances where a defective product can cause injuries to its consumers. The product may have been recalled already but yours were not recalled, or the product does not have any known defect when it injured you. Whichever situation you are in, you are definitely not alone. Once you have gathered several other plaintiffs who suffered similar injuries from the same product defect, this is when you will need to determine certain factors such as:

• The manufacturer did not put enough labels or instructions that the product has the potential to cause injuries. This may also mean that the manufacturer was not aware of the possible harm that its products can cause.
• Your injuries were directly caused by the product defect. You have to prove that your injury was not caused by your own negligence.
• The product was not the only one that has defects. Because you were not the only one complaining, you will have a stronger complaint against the manufacturer.
• If the product has already been recalled, you have to prove that you were not informed about it. If you were injured several months after the recall was conducted, that means the manufacturer did not inform every consumer about it.

Personal injury

One of the most common causes of mass personal injury is a car accident. If a single driver was responsible for the injuries of several people in a vehicle accident, he would be held liable for the injuries he caused. In such situations, some courts prefer to receive personal injury class action lawsuits rather than multiple complaints. This would enable them to process and evaluate the complaint faster for everybody’s benefit. Other factors that you may also consider include:

• Possible parties that may also be responsible for the accident
• The extent of injuries and expenses each complainant has suffered
• Additional evidences against the responsible party
• Hiring a lawyer who specializes in personal injury class action lawsuits

Whether your injuries were caused by a defective product or a personal injury accident, you have the right to recover your monetary damages. And because you are not alone in your endeavor, you should file a product liability or personal injury class action lawsuit in order for you to receive the compensation payments you all deserve.
