Product Liability Claims

In the realm of personal injury law, product liability claims hold a unique and critical space. It is essential to understand that these claims can be broadly categorized into three types, where defendants can be held liable for personal injury or other damages. Here, we’ll delve into each of these three main types of product liability claims and provide examples of evidence or warnings that could potentially put you at risk.

Manufacturing Defect Claims

Manufacturing defect claims top the list in terms of frequency among product liability cases.

Wisconsin Personal Injury Verdicts and Settlements

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

If you have a personal injury case in Wisconsin, it is natural to speculate on how much money you might get out of it. However, looking at average settlement and verdict data can be very misleading because each individual case is unique. The best way to get an idea of what type of payout you can possibly expect in your case is to look at the compensation awarded in prior cases with similar facts.

Does that give you the exact answer? Of course not. You can have what appears to be two identical cases and get very different outcomes. But there is no question that seeing settlement amounts and jury payouts in other cases informs your thinking on the range of values your case might bring.

Below are summaries of verdicts and reported settlements in recent personal injury cases in Wisconsin. While there is no guarantee that you will get a comparable payout from your case, these verdicts and settlements will give you a better idea, within a range, of what is likely and possible.

Mounjaro Lawsuits

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

Mounjaro is a diabetes drug manufactured by Eli Lilly. Recently, Mounjaro (and similar drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy) have become widely used for weight loss and weight management in obese patients. New evidence has emerged, however, showing that using higher doses of Mounjaro for weight loss can cause serious health problems involving the gallbladder and the gastrointestinal system. Mounjaro use has been linked to gallbladder disease, gallstones, gastroparesis (stomach paralysis), and other stomach conditions.

Eli Lilly apparently knew about these dangerous risks associated with Mounjaro but failed to warn doctors and patients about them. Individuals who used Mounjaro and suffered some of these injuries are now bringing Mounjaro product liability lawsuits. The national mass tort lawyers at Miller & Zois are investigating new Mounjaro injury cases. If you took Mounjaro for weight loss and suffered gastroparesis, contact us for a free case evaluation.
