West Virginia Defective Product Lawyers
If you were seriously harmed because of a product defect — at home, on the road, or at your job — the experienced product liability attorneys of Angotti & Straface are prepared to invest their time and resources to your case. We are committed to holding manufacturers accountable for bad design, poor assembly and failure to warn consumers of known dangers.
Not every accident involving a product can be pinned on the company that manufactured it. But that's our job to decide. If you believe you may have a defective product claim, contact us at 304-292-4381 for a free case evaluation. Our Morgantown law firm represents clients throughout West Virginia.
We have handled a wide range of defective product cases, including:
- Auto defects: air bags, seat belts, seatbacks, tires, roof crush
- Workplace machinery: presses, cutters, conveyor belts, hydraulic lifts
- Power tools: circular saws, pneumatic tools, air compressors
- Unsafe toys or household products
Defective Products: Proving the Link
To bring a product liability lawsuit, we must prove that there was a design defect (an inherently dangerous flaw), a manufacturing defect (a problem in the materials or the way it was assembled) or a failure to warn (injury when used as intended or in a reasonable and foreseeable way). We must also show that the product defect is directly linked to your injuries.
Defective product litigation often requires an investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars. We have to hire engineering and manufacturing experts with experience in the particular field, and often medical experts and economists to demonstrate the lasting physical injury and lost earning capacity.
For the select defective product cases we handle, Angotti & Straface has the ability to front these costs. There are no attorney fees unless and until we recover damages through settlement or at trial. John Angotti and David Straface have the trial experience to take on large corporations and hold them accountable, and can reach out to a network of other law firms with experience in specific areas of product liability.
