May 14, 2021 - Car Accidents by Cross & Smith

An Experienced Tuscaloosa Work Injury Lawyer Can Help If you’ve been injured in a work-related accident, then — if workers’ compensation covers you — you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Though valuable, these benefits may not fully cover your damages. For example, workers’ compensation covers lost wages and medical expenses, but it does not cover the pain and suffering that are associated with your injuries — in many cases, the pain and suffering damages can be substantial, just as much as (if not more than) the actual medical expenses or lost wages.

Work With a Tuscaloosa Auto Accident Attorney Defective tires can lead to serious car accident injuries. For example, a defective tire could explode at an inopportune moment or could be imbalanced (due to an air leak), making you lose control and crash.

Let our Tuscaloosa Injury Attorney Help The winter holiday season is a time of gift-giving, and that also means that product injuries could be on the rise as new customers open up and use their brand new gifts — some of which may be defective.

Strict Product Liability at a Glance In Alabama, a product is defective if it is unreasonably dangerous to the end-user. If you are injured by your use of a product, then you may be able to sue and recover damages from the product’s manufacturer, so long as the defective nature of the product is what caused your injuries. Alabama law makes it somewhat easier to successfully establish liability, as you need not show that the manufacturer was “negligent” in creating the defective product — you need only show that the product was defective and that it caused an injury. Foreseeable Use So, what happens if you are injured due to your use of a product — but your use of the product was not as “intended”? That’s an interesting issue that many prospective product defect plaintiffs run into.
