The concept of compensating victims has been part of civilization for centuries. There are written provisions for how a victim should be compensated written in Roman law.

The idea that someone should be compensated if they were harmed by the negligent acts of another is one of the most basic concepts in civil law. In cases where a product was manufactured with defects that led to injury or death, although unintentional, the manufacturer must be held accountable.

If it is discovered that the manufacturer was aware of the dangers of the product and hid this information, or did nothing to resolve it, it may be possible to pursue punitive damages – compensation that has the purpose of punishing the liable party. Defects can occur by either poor design, or malfunction of design. In case of injury or wrongful death, it compensation is sought through a claim or lawsuit.
