Although we are passionate about protecting every client’s rights in the best way we know how, at Cohen & Cohen, we are especially dedicated to product liability injuries because we know that when we protect one injured consumer we are potentially protecting many others. Other kinds of personal injury cases involve (for example) protecting a single patient or accident victim. Dangerous products though can pose a threat to an entire community of people if people are not made aware of the dangers of the product and/or if the product is not taken off of the market. The laws that govern product liability claims are based on the premise that all consumers have a basic right to safe and effective products. We firmly believe that this is a consumer’s right and are dedicated to protecting this for the public at large.

Product liability claims can be tricky to prove for a variety of reasons. One reason for this is because very often, there is more than one party who may be at fault for a faulty or malfunctioning product. Before a product reaches the shelves or e-marketplaces, there have been many different people and parties who have played a part in making the product available to consumers. While there are always exceptions, typically the design, manufacturing, assembly, distribution, and sales of a product, are done by more than one person or company. When someone is injured by a faulty product and needs to prove that their injury was caused by the product, the victim (and their lawyer) need to assess and quantify who is to blame.

Typically, a product injury victim can claim that the product that injured them was defectively manufactured, was defectively designed and/or the product failed to provide adequate warnings or instructions. Very often, blame can be placed on more than one party but usually that means that the plaintiff needs to demonstrate fault with each of these parties which can be tedious and time consuming. The injured victim needs to show not only that the product was defective but also that the product defect caused their injury.

What should I do if I got into an accident because my GPS failed?

You should contact a lawyer who is experienced with fighting product liability and personal injury cases if you got into an accident because your GPS or mapping app failed.

In many ways, these systems have made traveling from one place to another safer because of a variety of factors. Some of these are, not having to deal with cumbersome maps, not needing to read directions off of a piece of paper while driving, and being given advance audio and visual warnings of when turns and exits, etc., need to be made.

Unfortunately though, GPS and similar systems also have been at the root of many accidents as more and more drivers become dependent on these helpful “robots”. Drivers can be visually distracted by them, drivers have unintentionally followed directions into treacherous situations because they did not look at what was ahead of them in conjunction with the system’s directions, and sometimes these systems just fail all together. The resulting accidents can be anywhere from minor to devastating with serious injuries and death as the result.

If you were injured because of a faulty or malfunctioning GPS or mapping app, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. If you incurred property damage because of an accident that was caused by a failed GPS, you may be able to recover money for the damages.

If a person was injured in an accident involving other drivers, the injured person may be able to recover for their injury and damages through a personal injury claim.
