What Is Product Liability In Las Vegas?

Product liability is a legal term used to refer to the responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and sellers for products. They have a duty to make sure that there is no harm caused by their products to consumers or users. This liability could include a defect in the product or inadequate warning about the product’s dangers or risks.

Product liability allows for those consumers or users to file a lawsuit against these product manufacturers, distributors, or sellers to get compensated for the injuries that they have suffered from the defective product. Defective products could cause serious harm, especially if left untreated. Product liability allows users of products to get compensated in Las Vegas.

In Las Vegas, you have two years from the date of the injuries of the product to file a lawsuit. In the event that you fail to file this lawsuit in time, you will miss out on any damages that you could receive. Product liability is a very specific type of lawsuit that will require a highly qualified and experienced attorney to handle.

A product liability attorney will have to prove several key elements as to why the product was defective. This will require extensive research, along with assistance from accident reconstruction and product experts.

If you have been injured in any way due to a product, you need an attorney to represent your rights.

Product defects could cause extensive injuries, along with property damage. We want our clients to take care of themselves as we take care of their cases.

Product liability can include various different situations, including:

  • Design Defects: This occurs when there is a flaw in the product’s design that makes it inherently dangerous or unsafe. In order to prove that the product had a design defect, attorneys must bring in other experts to testify about what exactly was wrong with the design.
  • Manufacturing Defects: These occur when there is an error or mistake in the manufacturing process. Manufacturing defects usually happen in one out of a batch of products,  and occur while the product was being manufactured in the factory or warehouse.
  • Marketing Defects: Marketing defects take a look at what exactly the manufacturer was trying to advertise the product as and the risks of the product. If the manufacturer fails to mention any of the risks, then they most likely are liable.

If your Las Vegas product liability attorney is able to prove any of the above defects, then you most likely have a product liability lawsuit. A product liability lawsuit allows you to get compensated for various damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and any emotional suffering. Each injured person’s product liability lawsuit is different, given that the injuries are different and the emotional trauma may be different.

What Does A Las Vegas Product Liability Attorney Do?

A product liability attorney in Las Vegas is a lawyer that represents victims who have been injured by a product’s defect. This takes decades of experience and skill.

Some steps that our Las Vegas attorneys take include:

  • Investigating the product: Intensive investigation must be done to take a look at the product, its design, manufacturing process, and marketing to determine if there was a defect or failure that caused the injury.

  • Identifying potential defendants: Our product liability attorney will then look into who the potential defendants may be. Given that this is a product that has gone through several hands, there could be several different parties that could be responsible, which include the manufacturer, retailer, or supplier of the product.
  • Evaluating damages: Our attorneys will assess the damages suffered by victim to make sure that they get adequately compensated. Some factors we take a look at are medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
