Compensation for Injury by a Defective Product

Peter Mazzeo Peter Mazzeo | Posted on December 10, 2020

Have you ever been injured by a product? Do you know someone–a family member, friend or acquaintance–who was injured by a product? In Nevada, injuries caused by a product might be compensable pursuant to the theory of strict product liability. Strict product liability imposes legal responsibility for damages and injuries, even if the person or company found strictly liable did not act with fault or negligence.

How much is my case worth?
- We pride ourselves in obtaining the maximum compensation for our client’s injuries and overall damages. However, each case is valued differently as many factors make up the value of one’s case, which is why we encourage you to seek the experienced counsel of Mazzeo Law. Among many factors which impact one’s compensation, we consider the severity of the impact, the property damage, the injuries, the necessary medical treatment, the residual symptoms and limitations, lost wages, and lost earning capacity. The more than 30+ years of skill and experience provide us know-how to ensure you receive compensation appropriate to the maximum worth of your individual, unique case.
Do I have a case?
- In determining whether you “have a case” is only understood after a discussion and investigation of the facts involving the incident in question. Mazzeo Law has repeatedly been voted best attorney in Las Vegas because we work with clients and investigative resources to assess and compile all the evidence in support of your accident or incident.

Should I settle?
- Settling a case can sometimes be the most advantageous avenue to pursue, BUT only after your lawyer has had an opportunity to assess the pros and cons of settling versus litigating. In situations where the insurance company has undervalued your damages, we might decide to commence litigation in order to posture your case for a favorable settlement at mediation or arbitration. At Mazzeo Law, our diligent early preparation of your case, puts you, our client, in a stronger negotiating position generally with a higher settlement value, which often avoids having to go to court.

How long will this take?
- You should understand that each case and set of facts are unique from one another. The length of time a case takes depends on various factors including the severity of physical injuries, whether the you require just conservative medical treatment or more aggressive or interventional treatment, whether you sustained lost wages and lost earning capacity, and whether you suffer from residual injuries, symptoms and limitations. There are instances where clients of Mazzeo Law can obtain reimbursement for medical bills, property damage, car rental, etc. before final settlement is even determined.
Can I get a rental car?

Will my bills get paid?

Will I have to go to court?
