• 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.
