Defective Products

Las Vegas Attorney: Defective Products

Consumers encounter thousands of products in the course of a day. The tires on your automobile, your desk chair, the tools you use in your work, the food you eat, the stroller your child rides in — all make your life easier, and should make it safer. Far too often, however, manufacturers and distributors are more interested in profits than people. For that reason state and federal product liability laws hold those corporations responsible for injuries caused by dangerous and defective products.

Our client's leg was amputated when he was ejected from his vehicle due to a seat belt failure. The car manufacturer denied responsibility for the defective equipment. Our lawyers successfully brought a product liability claim against the car manufacturer and recovered $1.45 million on our client's behalf.
