Suspect A Defective Product Led to Your Work Injury?
A defective product can be dangerous in the workplace. If you suspect your work injury was due to a defective product, you may be entitled to additional compensation over and above your Pennsylvania workers comp benefits.
In Pennsylvania, workers can't sue their employer for a work injury. Injured workers receive compensation from an insurance company in the form of workers comp payments. However, if a defective product led to your injury, you can file a products liability action.
A products liability action can be brought against the manufacturer, supplier, distributor, or retailer of the defective product. You may receive additional compensation for your work injury if it is proven that one of them:
- Failed to adequately test or inspect the product before sending it to market.
- Created the defect in the product.
- Failed to discover the defect in the product.
- Failed to discover that the product could be defective or dangerous.
- Failed to adequately warn of the risk associated with the product.
- Failed to manufacture the product correctly.
- Failed to install the product correctly.
