Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When both the producer and the consumer are responsible for the injury, courts are most likely to assess comparative damages. This means that the damages will be apportioned between the parties based on their degree of fault in causing the injury. This approach is also used in some situations where the producer is unable to compensate for the damage caused. If the consumer cannot prove that the damage occurred, the court may dismiss the case or not award damages. If both the producer and consumer are from different states, the court may need to determine which state's laws apply to the case, but this does not necessarily mean comparative damages will be assessed.
