There are a number of benefits which can be accrued while filing a product liability claim. Civil action in product liability can bring compensation to those persons who have been harmed by a defective product. Furthermore, these claims can assist in ensuring that manufacturers or other companies that bring products onto the market are answerable for their safety.

Here are some benefits of filing a product liability claim…

• You May Be Entitled Compensation

If you or someone close to you has suffered an injury because of a product, defective in one way or the other you have the chance to file a compensation claim for your personal injury. Damages may include; medical expenses, wages lost, and general damages/ emotional damages. At times, the injured can also seek to be compensated for punitive damages which are meant to punish the manufacturer.

• Ensure Manufacturers Are Answerable

Contract claims also make manufacturers to answer for their conduct. Whenever a manufacturer is nervous that it could be held liable for a defective product, it deters another manufacturer from being negligent in the products that they plan to bringing into the market. It’ll assist the other manufacturers & consumers as well & can slow the rate of the accidents occurred in a year!

• Hold Retailers Accountable

Most of the time consumers are injured by the faulty products they use, but in some cases the retailers can also be held responsible for the accidents that occur due to the defective product. This is most likely to happen if the retailer ought to have known about existence of the defect, and yet he did not act to fix the problem or alert the consumers of the threat. While it is advantageous to hold retailers responsible for product liability claims, this can assist in preventing dangerous consumer products being sold before any legal claim is filed.

• Educate Consumers on Defective Products

There are three fundamental advantages that can be associated with the product liability claims: awareness of defective products. Once one person came out with a complain, there are always others who follow suit complaining of the same product. This can go a long way in avoiding further injuries in future.

• Assistance In Foreseeable Injuries

Product liability claims also serve as a preventive measure since manufactures will be compelled to exercise a higher sense of responsibility in order to minimize another occurrence of such a product claiming human lives. When manufacturers are already conscious on the damages that they could bring upon the society, then it is expected that manufacturers will try more to avoid the production of dangerous products.

For the most part, employers are responsible for managing employees and other staff. Employers owe the public, the lawful responsibility to adequately monitor their employees. When an employer does not offer reasonable supervision, a negligent supervision claim helps make that employer liable. A person who meets an accident can seek legal action against the employer of the person he or she accuses of negligence. Thus, careless workers are covered legally by more than one party in an accident. Negligent supervision then can be defined from the context of the doctrine of respondent superior, which makes an employer liable for an employee’s actions during working hours.

Nevertheless, negligent supervision claims are employed when suing a business when an employee’s negligence is excessive to what he or she was hired to do. These are brought directly against employers for irresponsible behavior or lack of it. As a result, if justice cannot be sought under the concept of legal theory of respondent superior, our litigators may be in a position to seek justice under the concept of negligent supervision.

As mentioned above various legal aspects need to be identified in support to the case of negligent supervision as follows…

In the negligent supervision legal theory, supervisors or employers can be held accountable for things that are not allowed. The attorneys at the knowledgeable Meyerson & Miller Law firm have represented many clients and are well prepared to prove to a jury that an employer’s lack of control over their employee caused a victim’s harm.

The 3 necessary elements to show that an employer should be held responsible for negligent supervision include:

• Duty of Care: This means proving that the employer vests in their employees and takes responsibility for their actions.
• Breach of Duty: In our case, we must ensure that the employer breached the legal duty to ensure appropriate monitoring of the employee.
• Causation: This can be evidenced where the injuries you sustained are as a result of negligence of your employer

Concrete Samples of Cases Where Negligent Supervision Occurred

It is pointed out that while a supervisor may not have to be involved in every component of an employee’s employment, it must be asked what a reasonably minded manager would have done. This means that negligent supervision cases mostly go beyond what measures a company put in place to control their employees within their working environments. For example, hiring wrong employees, negligence in cases of improper behavior by employees or lack of appropriate action against complaints on misbehavior.

Prevalent examples of negligent supervision claims include:

• Lack of consideration by employers of the sob stories of women and sexually harassing them in their workplace;
• The trucking companies for assisting the truckers to alter their driving documentation;
• A contractor that permits a worker on construction site to operate a huge truck after taking beer.
• A nursing home that does not ensure that its personnel prescribed certain medication to needy residents
• Vulnerable daycare centers that till the soil for neglect
