Las Vegas Defective Products Claims
Product Liability Case Law
Over many years, the defective product law in Nevada has been shaped by the decisions of Supreme Court of Nevada. The following are some of the notable products liability rules (which are always subject to change):
- When an injury occurs because of a defective product, the manufacturer and the distributor of the defective product are held responsible instead of the injured consumer.
- Under a strict tort liability theory in Nevada, in order to prove liability, a person must show that the injury was caused by a product defect, and that the defect existed when the product left the defendant's hands.
- With respect to the term "defect" as used in products liability law, the definitions share the common premise that those products are defective which are dangerous when they do not perform in the manner reasonably to be expected in light of their intended function and nature.
- The failure to give proper warning, renders a product defective.
