West Virginia Products Liability Lawyer
Hurt by a Defective Product? Call Us Today!
You can sue for monetary damages when you or a family member has been injured as a result of defects or undisclosed dangers in the use of certain products.
The courts in West Virginia will often rule in favor of the plaintiff when it can be proven that a manufacturer put consumers at risk through:
- Faulty assembly of a product
- Design defects
- Improper labeling and instructions
The settlement in a product liability case will often be significant, due to the nature of this type of action, which is often pursued as a large class-action lawsuit.
Common Examples of Defective Product Liability
A common example of defective products leading to legal action is when components of an automobile cause injuries or wrongful death in car accidents. Misfiring airbags that cause harm to the passengers or other factors such as dangerous seatbelts or crumple zones in the vehicle frame can lead to a claim for damages against the car manufacturer.
Another situation that frequently provides grounds for a claim is when a pharmaceutical company sells dangerous drugs that were either not tested fully for side effects or were contaminated in the factory, causing illness or injury to the users.
What Are Common Injuries from Defective Products?
Product liability lawsuits encompass all types of injuries, from:
- Broken bones
- Illnesses
- Burn injuries
- Chemical toxic exposure
- Defective medical devices
- Electrocutions
