There are many reasons why disputes arise in product liability cases. The opposing party will be looking for any legitimate reason to reduce the value of your claim or deny it outright, so it is critical to avoid missteps that would weaken your case.
Our Spartanburg product liability lawyers can guide you through the process of filing a claim so you are fully aware of the actions that may harm your case. We can help you avoid critical errors and oversights such as:
Delaying Medical Treatment: Even if you think the injury isn’t very serious, you should seek a formal diagnosis as soon as possible. Postponing medical care not only puts your health at risk, but it may also cause the opposing party to argue that your injuries could not be as severe as you are claiming since immediate care was unnecessary. They might also assert that you did not take reasonable steps to mitigate damages. As a result, you could be held partially or entirely liable for your own damages.
Ignoring Your Doctor’s Advice: You should follow every instruction provided by your medical team or you could face a dispute over a failure to mitigate damages.
Posting Sensitive Info on Social Media: Your first impulse in the wake of an injury may be to turn to social media to share your experience and vent your frustrations. Unfortunately, anything you post online could be used by the opposing party to challenge your claim. The legal team for the defense may review your social media profiles for photos, videos, and even pictures you were tagged in on other people’s profiles. Your posts may inadvertently suggest that you were partially liable or that you are ignoring your doctor’s instructions to rest and avoid strenuous activity. For these and other reasons, it’s best to set your accounts to private and avoid posting until your claim has been resolved, even if you think a particular post could not possibly harm your case. You never know how your online content could be taken out of context.
Giving a Recorded Statement: Never provide a statement to the opposing party. Nothing you say to them will help your situation, but it could certainly harm your case. Our Spartanburg product liability attorneys will handle all relevant correspondence on your behalf.
