Negligent people aren’t eager to pay their victims the full compensation they deserve. In fact, the insurance company will go to great lengths to pay less than fair compensation. That makes it important to understand how much your personal injury case is worth from the beginning.
Multiple factors will influence your case value, including:
Calculating the value of your pain and suffering can be difficult. It’s also challenging to anticipate your future losses. Our lawyers often consult experts who can help with these and other challenges–so you can rest assured you’re getting the compensation you deserve.
Product liability laws classify compensatory damages according to whether they compensate for economic damages or non-economic damages.
You’re entitled to damages to cover all financial expenses associated with the injury, including:
You’re also entitled to damages to compensate for your personal suffering and losses, including:
Juries in product liability cases sometimes award punitive damages. Punitive damages don’t compensate for a specific loss. Instead, they punish the defendant for gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing.
Under South Carolina modified comparative negligence laws, you can recover damages if you’re less than 51% responsible for your injuries. Once your share of fault reaches 51%, you’ll be barred from seeking damages. However, these shared fault laws only apply in negligence cases.
If your claim is governed by strict liability law, the manufacturer may try to avoid liability by claiming that you weren’t using the product as intended.
In any case where you’re being blamed for causing your own injuries, it’s important to consult an experienced lawyer. We know how to stop insurance companies and defense lawyers from using tactics designed to scare you into taking a lowball settlement.

Manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers all have a duty to sell products that are free of defects that could hurt someone. If you’re injured because of a defective product, you don’t always have to prove negligence to recover damages. Instead, product manufacturers can be held strictly liable for certain product defects.
Strict liability laws apply in three types of product liability cases:
It’s also possible that the manufacturer was negligent in putting a product on the market.
Products with design defects are unreasonably dangerous because of their design. These products are dangerous even if assembled according to the manufacturer’s specifications. In these cases, all products suffer from the same defect. When multiple people are injured, design defect cases are often consolidated into a class action.
To prove liability, our lawyers will work to prove:
Roundup weed killer is one example of a design defect case. Courts have found it to be unreasonably dangerous because the primary active ingredient increases the risk of developing cancer.
Products with manufacturing defects are dangerous because of a mistake during the manufacturing process. In other words, they become dangerous because the manufacturer deviated from the product’s design.
An example of a manufacturing defect is a drug that becomes contaminated during the manufacturing process. Unlike in design defect cases, it’s possible that only a single batch or item will have the manufacturing defect.
Most products carry some risks. That’s why the products we buy come with warning labels and instruction books. If the manufacturer fails to warn consumers about those risks, they can be held liable for failure to warn.
