Tips On Pursuing a Defective Product Lawsuit

Defective products are an unfortunate fact of life. There are few things more frustrating than getting a new purchase in your home and finding out that it does not work as expected because of a flaw in the development or manufacturing. The inconvenience of having to return the item is an annoying detour on your day in the Las Vegas and Spring Valley area. But when a defective product causes personal injury or property damage, then it is time to consider taking the next step: consulting a defective product lawyer.

Do You Need a Defective Product Lawyer in Spring Valley, Las Vegas?

The simple fact of a product not working does not constitute a defective product lawsuit. To be considered an actionable defective product lawsuit, the product must:

  • Be unreasonably dangerous
  • Have insufficient warnings
  • Have inadequate and/or incomplete instructions
  • Have deficient safety measures
  • Result in personal injury or property damage

If your experience with your product aligns with this list, you could have grounds for a defective product lawsuit. Your defective product attorney will review your case and determine if it meets the necessary criteria for further action.

Defective Product Lawsuits By The Numbers

According to the Insurance Information Institute, in 2015, product liability jury awards were by far the highest of all personal injury awards with a median award of $2,500,000, followed by medical malpractice with a median of $1,000,000 and business negligence at $222,000.

If you have been injured or have had personal property damage and are thinking about contacting a defective product attorney in the Las Vegas and Spring Valley area, make sure that you maintain all documentation, including:

  • Receipts of purchase
  • Contact information for seller and location
  • Contact information for witnesses to the incident
  • Document of the injury or damage with photos and video and medical records, if available

Claims Included In Defective Product Lawsuits

If you have been injured, you know that the damage goes beyond the physical pain and can linger for years. Your defective product lawsuit may include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Property damage

Most personal injury lawsuits involving a defective product lawyer are settled out of court, thanks to the diligent processing of your case by the committed attorneys, which means less time and stress for you. If you are in need of a defective product attorney in the Las Vegas and Spring Vallery area, contact Ahlander Injury Law today.
