A. Product defects frequently involve major recalls and potential class-action lawsuits. As such, manufactures often fight dangerous product claims for years to avoid liability in thousands of other cases. Sometimes the quickest way of recovering compensation requires confidentially settling claims with corporate insurers. Many viable product liability claims settle shortly after claimants medically recover or reach maximum improvement, as this allows attorneys to calculate and demand reasonable damages.
In disabling injury cases—including traumatic brain injuries, paralysis, blindness, late-stage cancer, or widespread burns—medical and occupational experts should help claimants calculate their future damages. It generally takes longer to settle serious product injury claims, especially if the cases involve litigation. Some claims settle more quickly if manufacturers voluntarily recalled the product and set up settlement funds.
No matter how long a claim might take, it is worth it to recover the compensation you deserve.
