Products Liability

Virginia defective product attorney

WAW recognizes that new products invariably lead to new types of loss claims based on consumer expectations of how those new products should function. A product liability claim against any company can unfairly tarnish a reputation and threaten the way a company does business. You need counsel with a track record for preventing those worst-case scenarios. We know how to assess the value of a products liability claim whether the product is brand new or has an established history in the marketplace. Our Harrisonburg, Staunton and Lexington, Virginia products liability attorneys have extensive experience in personal injury and loss due to defective products, and we have represented manufacturers and consumers in disputes for over a half century.

At WAW, we have cultivated a reputation for our efforts on behalf of our product liability clients throughout the Mid Atlantic states and many other states on the Eastern coast. We go about our case preparation in a businesslike, cost-efficient, discreet manner that provides protection of client’s interests. We offer expertise in a wide range of products and can aggressively represent the right of manufacturers, food processors, distributors, dealers and other industries who face litigation over perceived claims . Specific products involved could include food, tools, heavy industrial equipment or machinery, medical devices, recreational products, exercise equipment and similar devices. The attorneys at WAW are prepared to defend your company when an individual or group alleges that a serious injury or illness resulted from a defective or dangerous product or product malfunction.

It is our practice at WAW to aggressively pursue summary judgment in most product liability cases, but we are also skilled negotiators and have resolved many cases to our clients' satisfaction through mediation. As Virginia product liability attorneys, we know which cases need to be tried and have the trial experience, legal acumen, and litigation support to succeed in trying these complex product liability cases.

Trial when necessary

We are accomplished trial attorneys, and we litigate your products liability case if mediation is inadequate to achieve your goals. When you are injured by a product that has been recalled due to known defects, a lawsuit is often the appropriate course of action. Likewise, if your company has been receiving numerous claims of consumer loss regarding a particular product, it is typically appropriate to mount a defense at trial. The Virginia defective product lawyers at WAW are skilled at plaintiff and defense representation in products liability litigation.
