The law is meant to compensate the victims of defective product misconduct, and perhaps equally important, it is designed to stop such misconduct for the future.

Assume, hypothetically of course, that you make a car that carries with it a hidden danger or defective design. You place the gas tank at the rear of the vehicle in a particular way so the gas tank explodes when the car is rear-ended. You save twenty dollars a car by doing this. You wind up saving two hundred million dollars (twenty dollars multiplied by ten million cars sold), but someone else pays the price for those savings – the people who get burned by these exploding gas tanks.

They are not the only ones who pay the price. Everyone else who drives around in that particular car suffers the same hazard. They are subject to the risk that they might be severely injured in the case of a rear-end collision.

The Courts have faced cases like this for years. They do not want car manufacturers getting rich by skimping on car safety. So when product defects are found, the Mann Law Firm makes the company pay for what happened. First, in order to compensate the victim, and second, to teach them not to do it again.
