A common requirement in all West Virginia product liability claims is a finding of a defect in a product. The product defect may be based on the following:
- Negligent design of the product
- Negligent manufacture of the product
- Negligent failure to warn about some harmful aspect of the product
- Breach of an express or implied warranty
- Misrepresentation or fraud about the produced product
Under West Virginia law, the injured person must prove the following:
- The product was defective
- The defect caused the injury or damage
- The product was used in a reasonably foreseeable manner when the injury occurred
- An injury or damage occurred.
Under West Virginia law, a Product Liability Lawsuit may be brought if a defective product injures a person, on the basis that the manufacturer or the seller of that product may be liable for the damages caused by the defective product.
