Why Product Liability Cases Matter

Every product you use, from your car to your child’s toy to your household appliances, should be safe when used as intended. Unfortunately, some companies cut corners to maximize profits, releasing defective or dangerous products that put innocent people at risk. When this happens, victims may face catastrophic injuries or even wrongful death.

At Cogburn Davidson Injury Lawyers, we hold corporations accountable for prioritizing profits over people. With offices in Las Vegas and Henderson, our attorneys represent victims across Nevada, taking cases to trial when necessary to secure justice and compensation.

Common Types of Product Liability Cases

Product liability claims arise when dangerous or defective products cause harm. Some of the most common cases include:

  • Defective Automobiles and Parts: Airbags, brakes, seatbelts, or tires that fail in critical moments.
  • Medical Devices and Pharmaceuticals: Implants, drugs, or equipment that cause unexpected harm.
  • Industrial Equipment: Machinery and tools that malfunction and cause workplace injuries.
  • Children’s Products and Toys: Items with choking hazards, toxic materials, or unsafe designs.
  • Household Products: Appliances, electronics, or cleaning products that spark fires, explode, or release toxins.

In each case, the focus is on holding manufacturers, distributors, and retailers accountable for failing to protect consumers.
