West Virginia Product Liability Lawyers

If you are injured or harmed in any way in routine use of a product, West Virginia product liability law may offer you protection. Personal injury can be a severe financial burden, causing you to miss work and forcing you to pay expensive medical bills. In more severe product liability cases, permanent disability or long-term illness can prohibit working and rob you of a lifetime of income. When a product you have bought and used as it was intended causes you personal injury, the manufacturers, distributors, and retailers may be held accountable under West Virginia product liability law, and our lawyers can help you win compensation. Additionally, we can help family members of victims who were killed as a result of a dangerous or defective consumer product.

Dangerous or Defective Products

Usually the products we buy in stores are safe to use. On occasion, however, a product can be extremely harmful. This can be a defect in a single version of a product that one consumer has purchased or an inherent flaw in the product design. Producers and distributors of products have an obligation to consumers to make sure that their products are safe. If the producers do not properly label their product to warn consumers of its inherent dangers, they are liable under West Virginia product liability law. All persons involved in the sale of a product can be held liable for that product, from the manufacturer of the component parts to the retail store owner.

If you or someone you love was injured as a result of a defective product, including as a result of a defective drug, it is important to seek legal assistance as soon as possible. At our Charleston, West Virginia firm, the product liability lawyers will work to investigate your claim and ensure your rights are protected.

Product Liability Law

The scope of product liability law is not limited t o personal injury or wrongful death claims. You may have a product liability case if a product does not perform the function that the manufacturers claim, if the producer does not adhere to their promised warranty, or if the product label has improper instructions. If you have purchased a product that is defective and you think you may have a case, contact our West Virginia product liability lawyers for a consultation. Some examples of successful product liability lawsuits include recent action taken against tobacco companies for the cancer causing properties of cigarettes and suits against the weight-loss drug Ephedra for its harmful effects on patients.
