A lawsuit could result in compensation from the at-fault company.

Nevada Product Liability Law

Product liability laws in Nevada are mostly the same as many other states. State statutes protect consumers as much as possible from defective products by holding manufacturers to strict quality standards. Another benefit for consumers is that they do not have to prove the defendant’s negligence to qualify for compensation. If the item contained one of the following defects and caused the plaintiff’s injuries, there is no need to prove negligence:

1. Manufacturing mistake. Human errors or machinery malfunctions during a product’s creation could make it unreasonably dangerous for consumers. A batch of prescription medicine that a factory worker accidentally taints with a toxic chemical is an example of a harmful manufacturing mistake.
2. Design defects. Sometimes a product is dangerous even if everything goes as planned during its manufacture. These items have inherently dangerous designs. An example is a piece of farm equipment with a guard that isn’t strong enough to protect workers from getting sucked into the mechanism.
3. Marketing problem. A marketing defect is an oversight in the instructions, manuals, or warning labels on a consumer product that fails to keep buyers safe. For example, a child’s toy that’s unsuitable for toddlers but doesn’t say “Ages 3 and up” could present a choking hazard to young children.

The presence of one of these types of defects generally means that strict liability rules apply to the case. This saves the plaintiff from needing to prove negligence. To recover compensation, the elements necessary would be proof that the product had a defect, that the defect existed when the item left the manufacturer, that the plaintiff used the product as the creator intended, and that the product defect caused the injuries or damages. A Las Vegas product liability lawyer can help you prove that a product’s defect caused your injuries.

Who is Responsible for Product-Related Injuries?

Determining liability for a product that caused a serious injury can be difficult, a product liability attorney has the expertise to hold the at-fault parties accountable for their actions. Liability for a defective product can rest on one or several parties, including:

• Product manufacturers
• A manufacturer of one of the product’s parts
• The wholesaler
• The retail store that sells the product to the consumers
