Product Liability FAQs
Who is responsible for a defective product?
Manufacturers, distributors, and sometimes retailers may be liable depending on how the defect occurred.
Do I need to have the product or packaging?
It helps, but not always necessary. We can still investigate and build a strong case with medical records and expert testimony.
How long do I have to file a product liability claim?
In West Virginia, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury.
What damages can I recover?
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care.
What if the product was recalled?
You can still have a claim — and in some cases, a recall strengthens the case for negligence.
