Las Vegas E-Cigarette Injury Lawyer
Las Vegas Product Liability Attorney
E-cigarette devices have grown quite popular in Las Vegas and across the United States. While some decry these devices as too accessible to minors, many people have successfully quit smoking cigarettes and embraced the harm reduction that these nicotine delivery products can provide. However, not all e-cigarettes are manufactured with the same standards for quality and reliability, and many people have suffered catastrophic injuries from e-cigarette explosions and battery failures.
Representing Victims of E-Cigarette Explosions in Las Vegas, NV
Easton & Easton has a team of experienced Las Vegas personal injury attorneys who can help you recover from an e-cigarette injury. We know the legal complexities these cases often entail and the challenges you are likely to face as you seek compensation for damages sustained in an e-cigarette explosion. When you select our firm to represent you, our goal is to maximize your total recovery in the most efficient manner.
Potential Damages From E-Cigarette Malfunctions
Most e-cigarettes share a common basic design, and the market for these products has grown exponentially over the past decade, and there are now thousands of e-cigarette devices available. The basic device is a lithium-ion battery that powers an atomizer, which vaporizes a solution containing nicotine. The user inhales this vapor, similar to how they would smoke a cigarette, but the e-cigarette does not combust any plant material, reducing the particulates inhaled with use.
Unfortunately, lithium-ion batteries can fail in various ways, and low-quality batteries are more prone to catastrophic failures. When an e-cigarette battery malfunctions or fails, this can manifest in various ways. The battery could catch fire, even while in use, causing severe burns. It is also possible for a lithium-ion battery to explode. E-cigarette explosions have caused catastrophic injuries, including facial and dental injuries, injuries from severe burns, chemical exposure, and even fatal injuries.
Filing an E-Cigarette Injury Claim in Las Vegas
If you suffered an injury from a defective or unreasonably dangerous product, you have the right to seek accountability from the manufacturer. This is the basis of a product liability claim, and while similar to a standard personal injury case, these claims involve a few more complex details.
Easton & Easton can assist you in constructing your product liability claim for an e-cigarette injury in Las Vegas. Once we help prove that the dangerous product is directly responsible for the damages, we can assist you in securing compensation from the manufacturer. A successful product liability claim can potentially yield compensation for your medical costs, lost income from the time you are unable to work due to your injury, and any property damage caused by the explosion. We will also help recover compensation for the pain and suffering you endured. It’s important to connect with legal counsel you can trust as soon as possible after any personal injury to increase your chances of success with the legal efforts you must pursue.
FAQs
Q: How Do You Win a Product Liability Injuries Case in Las Vegas?
A: A plaintiff’s success with any product liability claim in Las Vegas hinges on their ability to prove the product in question was defective or unreasonably dangerous in some way that directly caused their claimed damages. Your Las Vegas product liability attorney can help prove that an e-cigarette or similar product was defective by design, defective due to a manufacturing error, or lacked adequate safety warnings and instructions for proper use.
Q: What Is the Statute of Limitations for Product Liability in Nevada?
A: A product liability claim is a type of personal injury claim, and the statute of limitations for this type of case is two years from the date an injury occurs. You must file your product liability claim within this time limit, or you risk losing your ability to claim compensation from the defendant. If you or a loved one are hurt by an e-cigarette explosion or similar injury from an unreasonably dangerous product, it is vital to consult an experienced Las Vegas product liability attorney as soon as possible.
Q: How Much Compensation Can I Claim for an E-Cigarette Personal Injury?
A: Under Nevada’s personal injury statutes, the victim of an e-cigarette injury or any other personal injury has the right to full compensation for all their economic losses, and they may claim compensation for pain and suffering. Your Las Vegas product liability attorney can help assess the full value of your claim, and you may be entitled to more compensation than you initially expected due to the fact that you can claim compensation for both immediate and future losses that result from the injury in question.
Q: Why Do I Need a Las Vegas Product Liability Attorney?
A: You can try to handle your product liability claim on your own, but you would jeopardize your recovery and risk settling for less than you legally deserve. Additionally, you would contend with the court’s demanding procedural rules while also managing your medical needs. Having legal counsel you can trust advising you means an easier time handling the procedural end of your case and a greater likelihood of maximizing your total compensation.
Q: How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Las Vegas Product Liability Attorney?
A: When you select Easton & Easton as your legal counsel there is no need to worry about overly expensive legal fees. Our firm uses the contingency fee model for our personal injury clients, meaning you are not required to pay upfront or ongoing legal fees for our representation. Instead, we will take a percentage of your final case award as our fee, but only if we win your case.

Retaining Easton and Easton was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! From the initial consultation to our final meeting, they were nothing short of exceptional. I was forced to retain their services after firing my previous attorney for not handling the case properly. I dealt with Gabriel and Brian (partner) exclusively throughout the case. They did as promised and were great communicators throughout the entire process. I will recommend them to anyone I know going through a personal injury case. They were ultimately able to untangle the mess caused by my previous lawyer and get a result that I was extremely happy with. Their staff is exceptional as well and provided top notch customer service. Amera was also extremely helpful and easy to deal with as well.
I was in a pretty bad car accident and decided to have Easton & Easton represent me, Travis Easton to be specific. Travis Easton and his paralegal made the whole process effortless. They were so understanding and helpful! The entire thing was a gigantic mess, yet Travis managed to make it run like clockwork. I would HIGHLY recommend Easton & Easton! If you are ever in need of a personal defense attorney Easton & Easton is the firm to represent you!
