Product Liability Overview

How Can Battle Born Injury Lawyers Help With a Product Liability Claim in Henderson, NV?

You never expect the products you buy to have hidden dangers that might injure you. You expect that the manufacturing company has vigorously tested those products for safety issues–and warned you about any hidden risks. When they don’t, and you’re injured, you deserve compensation. Unfortunately, big corporations have vast resources to fight any claims for compensation. Our experienced Henderson injury lawyers at Battle Born Injury Lawyers can help you fight for the money you deserve by:

Investigating and identifying the product defect that harmed you
Determining whether others were hurt in similar ways
Evaluating your eligibility to participate in class action lawsuits
Assessing your case value based on your unique losses
Protecting you from claims that you used the product incorrectly

Our defective product attorneys have earned a perfect-10 Avvo rating and the Avvo Clients’ Choice Award. Learn more about how we can put our skills to work for you by calling for a free consultation today.

Statistics on Defective Products

People often have a false sense of security when it comes to the safety of consumer products. After all, agencies like the CPSC and FDA strictly regulate goods before they’re sold to consumers.

Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Federal agencies can’t spot every defect–and the large corporations that profit from these products might cut corners. Thousands of consumer products are recalled every year. Recalls often happen only after consumers have been hurt. Across the U.S., about 40 million injuries and 46,200 deaths are attributed to defective products each year. About one in every three FDA-approved drugs has unknown side effects when released onto the market.

What Is Product Liability?

Product manufacturers are often in the best position to evaluate a product’s safety. They’re also the ones who will profit from their sales.

That’s why Nevada law imposes certain responsibilities on companies that sell consumer products.

When companies sell consumer products, they must ensure those products are reasonably safe. Like anyone else, product manufacturers can be liable for their own negligence. That said, it can be incredibly difficult to prove negligence in a product liability case. That’s why the law allows victims to hold manufacturers strictly liable for damages caused by defective products.

What Do I Have To Prove To Win a Product Liability Lawsuit in Nevada?

Under Nevada product liability laws, you don’t have to prove the manufacturer was negligent to recover damages. Instead, you must prove:

The product caused you to suffer some type of injury or harm
The product suffered from a defect
You were using the product as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way
The defect, or risk of danger, was not obvious

Three types of product defects exist: design, manufacturing, and marketing. The elements of your case will depend on the type of product defect involved.

Marketing Defects

Even with the safest design, not all risks can be eliminated. Still, these products are useful. Product manufacturers can sell products that pose dangers, but they have to tell you about non-obvious risks. Manufacturers can be liable for failure to warn.

Manufacturing Defects

In manufacturing defect cases, the defect exists because of a mistake. The design itself was safe. These products are defective because they weren’t assembled according to design.

Design Defects

Design defects make products unreasonably dangerous because of the way they’re designed. The product will pose a risk even when everything goes according to plan during the manufacturing and assembly process. That said, recovering compensation isn’t automatic. In design defect cases, courts consider:

The benefits of the product as designed, even with the danger
The nature of the danger posed by the defect
Whether a reasonably safe alternate design exists
Whether the product can accomplish its intended function with that alternative design
The cost of the alternative design

In other words, these cases tend to involve a cost-benefit analysis. For example, some prescription drugs can have dangerous side effects. However, their value to patients often outweighs the risks.

What Is My Henderson Product Liability Case Worth?

Whether your doctor expects you to suffer any long-term impairment
Medical treatment costs and other expenses you’ve incurred to date
The impact on your quality of life and ability to enjoy life

What Types of Damages Are Available to Victims in Successful Product Liability Lawsuits?

Damages are available for your economic and non-economic losses. In other words, both your financial costs and personal losses should be accounted for. Examples include:

Past and future medical expenses
Lost wages
Reduced earning potential
Physical therapy
Property damage
Pain and suffering
Physical disfigurement or scarring
Emotional distress
Diminished quality of life
Loss of consortium

Punitive damages are rare. Courts only award punitive damages when there is clear evidence that the defendant’s acts were malicious or particularly shocking.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire a Henderson Personal Injury Lawyer to Handle My Product Liability Claim?

Battle Born Injury Lawyers works on a contingency fee basis. Your attorney’s fees are based on the amount of compensation we recover in your case. When you hire us, you’ll agree to pay a percentage of whatever compensation we recover for you.

With this structure, you can hire us without paying up front. And, from there, we’re only paid for our legal services if we win compensation for you.

What Happens to My Right to Damages If I’m Partially Responsible for My Own Injuries in Nevada?

Nevada has modified comparative negligence laws. Once your share of fault reaches 51%, you’re barred from recovering damages. If you share less blame, your compensation is reduced in proportion to your share of fault.

Defective Products Have the Potential to Cause Serious Long-Term Injuries

The consequences of a defective product can be far-reaching. Victims often suffer both immediate and long-term damage. Some examples of the types of injuries commonly caused by product defects include:

Broken bones
Facial injuries
Nerve injuries
Hearing loss
Soft tissue damage
Traumatic brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Head and neck injuries
Concussions
Back injuries
Lung damage, kidney failure, and other internal injuries
Burns
Amputations
Paralysis
Catastrophic injuries
The wrongful death of a loved one

Prompt medical care can be critical to your physical recovery. If you were injured, see a doctor quickly.

How Much Time Do I Have To File a Product Liability Lawsuit After Suffering an Injury in Nevada?

The statute of limitations in Nevada personal injury cases is two years. You have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. Once two years pass, the court will dismiss your case, and you’ll have lost your right to damages.

If you develop a medical condition over time, the two-year clock won’t start running until the date you knew, or reasonably should have known, about the harm you suffered. As it can be complicated to determine the time limit for a product liability lawsuit, it’s best to contact our defective product lawyers as soon as you can.
