Claims arise from design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure-to-warn defects. Each requires different proof.
Types of Product Defects
Virginia's Approach
Virginia generally requires proof of negligence or breach of warranty rather than strict liability, making strong evidence and expert analysis important.
Preserve the Product
Keep the defective product and packaging — it is critical evidence. Do not discard or repair it before an attorney and expert can examine it.
