  • Malfunctioning Appliances: Home appliances are supposed to make life easier—not put you and your family in avoidable danger. Unfortunately, appliances can malfunction due to poor design or manufacturing defects. It could be anything from a microwave that explodes to faulty wiring in washing machines causing a fire. These incidents can cause serious injuries or property damage. Our team is adept at holding manufacturers accountable for suffered injuries.

Consumer product defects is a broad category that includes a wide range of products—from electronics that overheat to furniture that tips over far too easily.

  • Defective Industrial Equipment: In industrial settings, equipment failure can have devastating consequences for injury victims. Whether it is machinery that lacks proper safety features or tools that malfunction, workers can suffer a serious injury. Our Las Vegas product liability law firm is experienced in handling even the most complex of cases.
  • Defective Medication: Medications should improve your health. Modern prescription and nonprescription medications are incredibly powerful. At the best, they can save lives. However, at the worst, they can put innocent people in terrible danger. For example, some drugs have harmful side effects that are not properly disclosed. Alternatively, they may be contaminated during manufacturing. If you have suffered health issues due to defective medication, contact our Las Vegas product liability attorney for a free case review for your personal injury claim.

  • Dangerous Medical Devices: Similar to medication, medical devices are meant to help people in their time of health need. That being said, some medical devices have design flaws or manufacturing defects that can lead to severe health complications. Medical device defects include everything from faulty hip replacements to problematic pacemakers. We have the expertise to challenge big medical device companies. Contact our Las Vegas product liability lawyer today for a free, no obligation case evaluation.
  • Dangerous Toys: The safety of children is paramount. Companies must take additional safety precautions—and include more comprehensive warnings—to ensure that all toys are as safe as they should be during the manufacturing process. Some toys with small, detachable parts can pose a choking hazard and are unreasonably dangerous. Other toys may contain toxic materials. If a dangerous toy has harmed your child, our compassionate Las Vegas product liability lawyers are more than ready to help file a strict product liability claim.

An Overview of Product Liability Laws in Nevada

For the most part, product liability claims arise under state law. That means that if you are harmed by a dangerous product in Las Vegas, your claim will fall under Nevada law. In a number of different ways, product liability claims are different from other types of personal injury cases. Some unique rules, regulations, and legal standards apply. Here are the most essential things that injured victims need to know about the dangerous and defective product claims in Nevada and the possibility of a potential product liability lawsuit:

  • Strict Liability Applies to Defective Product Claims: Nevada’s product liability law operates under the principle of strict liability. If a product is found to be defective and it causes injury through reasonable and foreseeable use, the manufacturer or seller can be held liable without the need for the injured party to prove negligence.
  • A Four-Year Statute of Limitations for Most Product Liability Cases: Under Nevada law, there is a four-year statute of limitations for most product liability claims. A defective product claim must be initiated in a timely manner. Otherwise, the claimant may be denied an opportunity to seek financial compensation at all. Do not fall behind the corporation or its insurance company: Consult with an experienced Las Vegas, NV defective product attorney as soon as possible after a serious incident causing harm.

The Three Main Types of Product Defects

Product liability claims come in a wide variety of different forms. Not only are many different products subject to defects—from consumer electronics to industrial equipment to medical devices—but there are different categories of problems. Broadly speaking, product defects in Nevada will fall into one of the following three categories: 

  1. Design Defects: Design defects occur when a product’s design is inherently unsafe—even before it is actually manufactured. Put another way, there is a flaw in the product’s fundamental blueprint. As a result, every item produced is potentially dangerous. For instance, a car model designed with a fuel system that increases the risk of fire in a crash could be considered to have a design defect. 
  2. Manufacturing Defects: Manufacturing defects, unlike design defects, arise during the production or assembly of a product. In other words, only a portion of the manufactured items are affected, not the entire line. For example, imagine that there is a batch of bicycles with a weak frame weld. As a result, these bikes are likely to break under normal use. In Nevada, demonstrating a manufacturing defect requires showing that the product deviated from its intended design and that the deviation in question was a defect. 
  3. Failure to Warn: Sometimes referred to more simply as “marketing defects”, failure to warn involves inadequate instructions or safety warnings about the product’s label regarding the potential risks. For example, a powerful cleaning chemical sold without proper usage instructions and warnings about its corrosive nature could be a case of failure to warn.

We Fight for Full and Maximum Compensation for Injuries Caused by a Product Defect

A dangerous and defective product can cause catastrophic harm. Injured victims in Nevada have the right to seek compensation for both their intangible losses and their non-economic damages. However, sadly, defendants and insurers make the claims process incredibly difficult for injured victims. Ladah Law Firm goes above and beyond to help our clients secure justice. We fight for the maximum settlement or verdict. You may be entitled to recover financial compensation for:

  • Property loss; 
  • Ambulance fees; 
  • Emergency medical care; 
  • Hospital bills; 
  • Other medical expenses; 
  • Physical therapy; 
  • Lost wages; 
  • Loss of earning; 
  • Pain and suffering; 
  • Long-term disability; 
  • Permanent impairment; 
  • Loss of life enjoyment; and
  • Wrongful death. 

Note: In some limited cases, punitive damages may also be granted in a dangerous and defective product claim. Punitive damages are not tied to specific losses endured by the victim. Instead, it is a form of compensation that is intended to punish the exceptionally egregious conduct of the defendant. For example, if a major corporation intentionally cut corners on product safety and willingly put innocent people at serious risk, they may be subject to punitive damages in any subsequent product liability claims.

Product Liability Claims in Nevada: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What Does Strict Liability Mean in a Defective Product Case?

In most personal injury claims, the victim needs to prove negligence to hold the defendant liable. However, that is not necessarily the case for defective product cases in Nevada. Strict liability in a defective product case means—the manufacturer, the seller, etc— can be held liable without the need to prove negligence. If the product was defective, the company may be responsible. 

Is a Corporation Automatically Liable for Injury Cases Caused by a Product?

No. It is important to emphasize that strict liability is not a synonym for automatic liability. In Nevada, a corporation is not automatically liable for injuries caused by a product. Liability depends on proving that the product was defective, that it actually caused harm to the user, and that it was not used in an inappropriate or unreasonable/unforeseeable manner.

How Much is My Dangerous and Defective Product Case Worth?

It depends. The value of a dangerous and defective product case in Nevada varies on a wide array of case-specific factors, including the severity of the victim’s injuries. A top-tier Las Vegas defective product attorney can help you review your case, investigate your accident, document your damages, and take action to secure the full and fair financial compensation.

Will My Product Liability Claim Go to Trial?

In Nevada, most product liability claims are settled out of court and, as such, do not end up going to trial. Instead, settlements are often preferred as they are less time-consuming, less costly method for corporations to resolve claims. Still, any defective product case could end up in court.
