Nevada Dangerous Product Liability Lawyer
If you have been injured by a dangerous or defective product, Nevada law is on your side. Our state's product liability laws are very favorable to consumers. In Nevada, manufacturers and distributors are responsible for harm caused in many cases — even if the product is misused, as long as that misuse was foreseeable.
Located in Las Vegas, the lawyers at Eglet Wall have handled products liability lawsuits related to many different types of dangerous and defective products. These include faulty endoscopy equipment, Yaz, Botox, and certain cars including SUVs with Firestone tires and Toyotas.
We have the capacity to handle even the most complex cases, including those related to defective construction equipment, household products, pharmaceuticals (drugs), motor vehicles and medical equipment.
Product liability cases are one of our great strengths, and we have recovered millions of dollars in compensation for the victims of injuries caused by faulty products. If you have been injured, our attorneys can represent you in litigation in courts throughout Nevada.
The Law on Product Liability
Under Nevada law, product manufacturers and distributors face strict liability for product defects, which means that your lawyer does not have to show negligence in every case. If the product hurts people, manufacturers and distributors are responsible. Period. Even if they did not act negligently.
In general, there are several ways that products can be unreasonably dangerous:
- Manufacturing defects: These occur when an error in product manufacture or assembly causes the product to perform differently than customers expect, often leading to serious personal injury and wrongful death.
- Design defects: These occur when faulty product design makes the product unsafe for use.
- Manufacturer or seller's failure to warn: When product manufacturers fail to warn consumers of danger associated with use of the products, their actions can lead to serious injuries and death.
- Breach of warranty for a particular purpose: When product manufacturers and distributors promote the use of a product in ways that harm people, they can be held responsible.
