Utah Product Liability Case Value Calculator

Product liability damages include economic losses (medical bills, lost wages, replacement costs) plus non-economic damages (pain, disfigurement, loss of enjoyment). Cases involving prior recalls, known defects, or willful misconduct may also support punitive damages, which can significantly multiply the base settlement value.

Product liability settlements range from $50,000 for minor injuries to several million dollars for catastrophic harm. Cases involving defective vehicles, medical devices, or products with multiple injured users tend to yield the highest values. Multi-plaintiff litigation often increases individual settlement amounts.

In Utah, you have 4 years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline permanently bars your right to recover — act promptly and consult an attorney before the deadline approaches.

Not necessarily. Under strict liability (available in most states), you only need to prove the product was defective and caused your injury — regardless of the manufacturer's care level. This makes product liability cases stronger than standard negligence claims and often accelerates settlement discussions.
