Defective Product Attorney

Norfolk, Newport News, and Roanoke, Virginia

 

When a drug or product sickens or fatally injures a person, who is responsible? Defective product laws cover defective and/or unreasonably dangerous drugs or products that cause personal injury or death. The manufacturers of these drugs and products can be held liable for causing injury to an innocent person due to:

• Design defects
• Manufacturing defects
• Improper safety devices

 

Injuries involving defective products can occur from a variety of sources, including:

• Automobile failure/malfunction
• Air bag failures
• Vehicle rollovers
• Gas tank explosions
• Seatbelt failures
• Defective consumer and household products
• Products causing explosions and burns
• Defective products in the workplace
• Faulty farm machinery and equipment
• Malfunctioning admiralty and maritime products
• Flawed medical appliances

 

Often, drug makers and regulation agencies rush approval of a certain product based on demand or financial gain. In some widely publicized cases against pharmaceutical companies, injured people claim the manufacturer knew of the defect and pushed for approval to sell the product anyway.
