A. Accidental poisonings and dangerous products kill thousands of innocent consumers each year. Unfortunately, many of these deaths involved infants and young children. San Antonio families might recover personal injury damages on behalf of loved ones fatally injured by dangerous products. These lawsuits, called wrongful death cases, allow spouses, adult children, and/or parents to demand product liability damages from all potentially liable defendants.
Damages may include the same losses recoverable in general personal injury litigation plus funeral expenses, end-of-life care, and special damages for minor children and spouses. In some cases, families might also demand punitive damages if manufacturers knew about potentially fatal defects and refused to issue recalls for financial purposes. The Ford Pinto Case exemplifies these claims.
