Charleston, West Virginia Product Defects Attorneys
Manufacturers can be held financially liable injuries and fatalities caused by defective products. In most cases involving defective products, manufacturers claim a consumer used a product incorrectly. In other cases, manufacturers will insist their product conforms to all safety regulations, thereby relieving them of any liability for injuries or deaths caused by the use of their product.
As a result, products liability cases tend to be very technical in nature, addressing points of engineering, chemistry, and physics. For these reasons, it's essential to work with experienced product defects lawyers who understand how to prepare and present technical issues and work effectively with expert witnesses across a wide range of scientific fields.
If you have suffered serious bodily injury or significant property damage due to a defective product, contact product defects attorneys at The Bell Law Firm, PLLC today to schedule a free consultation to discuss your case.

Liability and Design Flaws
Even if a product adheres to all state and federal safety regulations, manufacturers can still be held liable if there are quantifiable reasons for believing a manufacturer should have foreseen certain dangers associated with their product.
For instance, if a household cleaner is combustible when mixed with bleach, its manufacturer should foresee the possibility of consumers using its product in conjunction with bleach. As such, a warning should be placed on the label alerting people to this danger.
Failure to do so would constitute a violation of duty of care to protect others from known, foreseeable dangers. In this sense, even if the cleaner is not in violation of any state or federal laws, its manufacturer can still be held financially liable for injuries that result from mixing it with bleach: because the manufacturer failed to warn of an obvious danger, it can be held legally liable for violating a duty of care to consumers.
