It's conceivable that you could be partially to blame for a product liability accident, and you can bet that the defendants will do their best to prove that this is so. Don't admit anything, and remember: even if you are found to be partially to blame, it wasn't all you're fault, and you can still get a settlement
Some product liability cases are more than just a way to get an individual settlement for your injuries: they can be used to strike a blow against corporations that are more interested in profits than they are in people. Your case can help change this attitude.
