If a dangerous product causes injuries to you or someone you care about, call our product liability attorneys in Las Vegas as soon as your safety is under control. We can help you get money for medical treatment, missed time from work, disfigurement and scarring, and emotional trauma caused by the product.
Although manufacturers are responsible for ensuring the products they put on the market are safe for consumers, and retailers are required to remove recalled merchandise from store shelves, sales lots, and the marketplace, concerns about their own bottom line often prevent them from fulfilling those duties. And when people are injured or killed because of dangerous or defective products, those same financial concerns keep insurers and big-name manufacturing companies from paying claims.
At Van Law Firm, we’re dedicated to keeping Nevadans safe. When you hire our liability lawyers team to handle your case, we’ll make sure the entities that are liable for your injuries are held accountable and that they are forced to remove these hazards from the market. With the expertise of our Las Vegas personal injury attorney, we are equipped to navigate the complexities of the legal system, ensuring that your rights are upheld and justice is served.
Understanding Manufacturer Product Liability
Four common theories of product liability are recognized in Nevada. You may be able to rely on more than one theory when making an injury claim.
- Breach of Warranty
Products may have two types of warranties: express warranty and implied warranty. An express warranty is explicitly stated. An implied warranty goes without saying and can be for a particular purpose or a warranty of merchantability. If you were injured and a warranty violation took place, you may be able to recover money. - Strict Liability
Under the doctrine of strict tort liability for products in Nevada, manufacturers can be held accountable for dangerous products that cause injuries even if manufacturer negligence is not applicable. To be successful, a claim for strict product liability in Nevada must show that the product was defective, the defect was present when the product left the possession of the manufacturer, it was used in a manner that was reasonably foreseeable by the defendant, and it caused damage or injury to the victim. - Negligence
Negligence can be used to hold retailers, distributors, manufacturers, and sellers responsible for the damages caused by dangerous products. To prove negligence, you must show that the defendant had a duty of care to you, the duty was breached, the breach of duty caused your injury, and that you suffered actual damages. - Fraud or Intentional Misrepresentation
If the defendant knew of the danger and used misleading advertising, ignored the hazard, or tried to conceal it, and allowed the product to be distributed to the general public anyway, you may be able to prove intentional fraud or misrepresentation.
