Paperwork on the desk of a product liability lawyer in Roanoke Virginia.

Product Liability Attorney in Roanoke, VA

Manufacturers and sellers of products must not be more concerned with profitability than they are with providing safe and effective products. Every year, defective products cause serious injury and death to thousands of innocent adults and children. The Roanoke product liability lawyers at Lichtenstein Law Group PLC have extensive experience in successfully handling the litigation that is necessary to pursue compensation in these types of cases.

What is product liability?

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and sellers to ensure that products released to the public are safe and free from defects. When a product is found to be defective and causes injury or harm, the injured party can file a product liability lawsuit to seek compensation for their damages.

These cases can involve design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions. At Lichtenstein Law Group PLC, our product liability lawyers specialize in helping clients navigate these complex cases to secure the compensation they deserve.

What types of product defects can lead to a lawsuit?

There are three main types of product defects that can lead to a lawsuit:

  1. Design Defects: Flaws in the product’s design that make it inherently unsafe.
  2. Manufacturing Defects: Errors that occur during the production process, resulting in a product that differs from the intended design and is dangerous.
  3. Marketing Defects: Failure to provide adequate warnings, instructions, or labels, leading to improper use and injury.

At Lichtenstein Law Group PLC, our product liability attorneys have extensive experience handling all types of product liability cases to help you get the justice you deserve.

How do I know if I have a product liability case?

You might have a product liability case if you were injured by a product due to a design defect, manufacturing defect, or inadequate warnings/instructions. To determine if you have a case, consider the following:

  1. Injury: You must have sustained an injury or suffered damages.
  2. Defect: The product must have a defect that directly caused your injury.
  3. Usage: You were using the product as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable manner.

At Lichtenstein Law Group PLC, our product liability lawyer can evaluate your situation and help you understand your legal options.

How Our Roanoke, VA Product Liability Lawyers Fight for You

Although the facts of the matter may seem simple – a dangerous product caused a serious injury to you or a family member – product liability cases are extremely complex. Our product liability law firm in Roanoke will begin with an intensive evaluation of the case to assess tactics and strategies and determine the best route of attack.

Our approach to a product liability case usually includes:

  • Identifying all the parties that may be held responsible for your injury. This may include the parties that designed, manufactured, distributed and sold the dangerous or defective product.
  • Determining exactly what type of negligence and breach of warranty led to the injury. Our product liability attorneys can analyze your case to determine whether it involves a breach of warranty, allegations that the particular product was not fit for its intended purpose, the absence or insufficiency of warnings, or failure to take proper safety precautions in manufacturing the product, for example.
  • Collecting every bit of evidence about the product and your resulting injury. If possible, we will preserve the dangerous product itself as evidence, whether it’s your vehicle with a defective part, a dangerous medical device that had to be removed, or a child’s toy that caused your little one serious harm, for example. We collect all of your medical records and scanned images as evidence to prove the severity of your injuries in court.
  • Hiring expert witnesses to strengthen your case. We have a network of experts throughout Virginia and across the United States who can analyze and reconstruct your accident, testify to engineering problems, and explain the extent and severity of your injuries.
  • Relentlessly pursuing your case with the vast amount of resources at our disposal. When you’re going up against a large corporation with deep pockets, you need to be able to fight fire with fire. Our firm is in it for the long haul. We will not let the at-fault party drag out your case in hopes that you will give up.

There is an immense amount of work that goes into preparing for a product liability trial, and our attorneys are devoted to aggressively pursuing maximum compensation for the trauma you and your family have suffered. Although our ultimate goal is a successful jury verdict, there are instances where we have developed such a strong case that the at-fault parties offer a full and fair settlement in order to avoid having to defend their product at trial.

Whether compensation for your product liability claim comes through a jury verdict or a well-negotiated settlement, our Roanoke product liability lawyers‘ goal is your and your family’s protection and satisfaction in the result of your case.

Wrongful Death from Defective Products

In the most tragic circumstances, a defective or dangerous product may be the cause of a person’s death, or the victim may die eventually from injuries related to the product. In these cases, family members may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim on behalf of their loved one.

At Lichtenstein Law Group PLC, our product liability attorneys have the experience needed to pursue these types of wrongful death claims in a court of law. We can walk you through the process of seeking justice for your loved one, and we can explain all of your options for pursuing compensation. Contact our Roanoke personal injury lawyer today.
