Product Liability

When we pay hard-earned money for products, we expect those products to be reasonably safe. Whether a simple toy or a complex piece of industrial machinery, the law imposes similar duties of care on the manufacturers and sellers. When a product causes an injury to you or a family member, you may be hesitant to blame the product. But the law recognizes that when the product was defective by design, or by manufacture, the responsible company should pay for the damages. If you are considering such a claim—or simply have questions—call us.

A product liability claim carries unique and difficult burdens of evidence. Few lawyers in Western Virginia have the will or the expertise to pursue a product liability lawsuit, let alone to build such a case in the way that maximizes the chances of success. Munro Byrd, P.C. has that experience, and a proven record of results. Devon Munro has successfully litigated many of these difficult cases, helping clients overcome catastrophic injuries from products in the home or workplace.

In the case of an injury because of a product, you need to act quickly. You need to find a lawyer who knows how to evaluate whether the product was “unreasonably dangerous” under the law, and is willing to invest the resources of time and money to prove it. This requires getting started early, identifying the right industry experts in that product’s design and engineering, aggressively pursuing the records and identifying insider witnesses, and taking action to keep the various companies involved from destroying that evidence (whether on purpose or not), as often happens.

We have the knowledge, the tools, and the drive to evaluate and prepare a defective product case at the high level necessary to maximize your chances of success. Call us to discuss your potential case. We will answer your questions, and explain the process so that you have the information you need to decide whether to pursue a claim.
