You would have to file a product liability lawsuit against PartsGeek to get them to pay for the damage the bad recovery tank did to your engine. The goal of these lawsuits is to hold companies responsible for injuries and damage caused by defective products. To be successful in this situation, you need to set up certain things:
• The recovery tank was, in fact, broken.
• The problem with the recovery tank hurt your engine right away.
• You lost money and had damage done to your engine.
•
You can show that the recovery tank was broken by showing proof from a mechanic or automotive expert, information that the tank did not meet industry standards, or information that PartsGeek or another organization recalled the tank.
You can show that the problem with the recovery tank led to damage to the engine by showing repair bills from a mechanic, expert testimony from people who work with cars, or data that shows the damage to the engine is the kind that is usually caused by a broken recovery tank.
You can show proof that the engine damage caused you losses by showing repair bills, proof of lost income if you couldn't work because of the damage, or medical bills if you got hurt because of the engine problems.
If your lawsuit against PartsGeek for product liability is successful, you may get money to make up for what you lost. Costs of fixing the engine, lost wages, medical bills, and money for pain and suffering could all be part of this compensation.
If you want to file a product liability lawsuit against PartsGeek, you should talk to an experienced lawyer first. Someone who is a lawyer can help you gather evidence, file a lawsuit, and negotiate a settlement on your behalf.
