Product Liability
Suing for Defective Products
Businesses have an obligation not to sell or manufacture products that may harm consumers. Unfortunately, many businesses ignore this responsibility in order to maximize their profits—and all too often, consumers pay the price. As a result of this negligence, defective products can lead to property damage, personal injury, or even wrongful death.

Manufacturing Defects
Manufacturing defects are the source of the majority of product liability cases that end up in court. Manufacturing defects occur when an otherwise safe product is compromised because of manufacturer error.
Design Defects
Design defects affect every product of a particular type in that the design; therefore, the execution of the product is inherently flawed. In cases like these, an element of risk or danger is built into the product itself, and any user may suffer injury as a result.

Frequently Asked Questions
To win a product liability case in Nevada, you must generally prove that the product was defective due to a design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn, that you were using the product as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way, that the defect directly caused your injury, and that you suffered actual damages. Under Nevada’s strict liability law, you don’t need to prove the manufacturer was negligent—only that the product was defective and caused harm. A product liability lawyer can evaluate the strength of your claim.
Nevada’s product liability laws allow you to pursue claims against any party in the product’s chain of distribution including the product manufacturer, component part manufacturers, the product designer, distributors and wholesalers who sold or supplied the product, and retailers who sold the product to you. Multiple parties can be held jointly liable, increasing the available insurance coverage and improving your chances of full compensation for your injuries.
Common defective products causing injuries include motor vehicles and auto parts such as airbags, tires, and brakes, medical devices including implants, surgical tools, and diagnostic equipment, pharmaceuticals with dangerous side effects or inadequate warnings, children’s products and toys with choking hazards or toxic materials, household appliances and electronics, power tools and industrial equipment, and safety equipment that fails to protect as intended. Our product liability lawyers handle cases involving all types of defective products.
