How Much Are Product Liability Injury Settlements?
The value of a product liability injury settlement depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your ability to work, and the cost of your ongoing care.
In Ontario, compensation may cover medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation, and damages for pain and suffering, subject to certain legal limits. More serious, long-term injuries typically result in higher settlements, especially when they require lifelong treatment or significantly reduce your quality of life.
Every case is unique, and settlement amounts are determined by the specific facts, evidence, and circumstances involved. Our team works to build a strong case so you can recover the full compensation you’re entitled to.
Do I Really Need a Lawyer After Getting Injured From a Product?
At Oatley Vigmond, we know product liability cases can be complex and challenging to navigate alone.
Large companies and insurers often have experienced legal teams working to minimize or deny claims. Our skilled product liability lawyers in Toronto gather the necessary evidence, collaborate with experts, and handle all negotiations to protect your rights.
We ensure you meet every legal deadline and follow the proper procedures, so you can focus on healing while we fight for the compensation you deserve.
Can I Be At Fault in a Product Liability Case?
In product liability cases, it’s possible for the injured person to share some responsibility, but this depends on the specific circumstances.
For example, if the product was misused or altered in a way that contributed to the injury, that could affect the claim. However, manufacturers, distributors, and sellers are generally responsible for ensuring their products are safe when used as intended. At Oatley Vigmond, we carefully review all the facts to determine liability and work to protect your rights, even if there’s a question of fault.
Our goal is to help you get the compensation you deserve, regardless of any shared responsibility.
