Experienced West Virginia Product Liability Attorneys
When we use a product correctly at home, on the road or at work, we have a right to think that we’re not risking our lives or risking a serious personal injury. Toys, children’s clothing, automotive products, industrial equipment, pharmaceuticals and other consumer products are all supposed to be produced, packaged or installed according to U.S. and state manufacturing laws without hidden defects. Unfortunately, corporate interest in profits often gets in the way of public safety and shortcuts are taken at every level of distribution to the public. Every year, thousands of people across America are injured or killed because of dangerous product design and manufacturing flaws.
Free Consultation – No Attorney Fees Unless You Win – Statewide Practice
At the Robinette Legal Group, PLLC, our West Virginia product liability attorneys believe we have a responsibility to hold product manufacturers and distributors to the highest standards for public safety.

It is up to litigation firms like ours to legislate product safety through the courts.

We are a former insurance defense law firm now serving the injured in West Virginia.

Brain Injury
While timbering in WV, a heavy equipment operator sustained a permanent brain injury while performing the duties of his job. What price can you put on the loss of a fully functioning, fully reasoning brain? Jeff Robinette was able to negotiate a settlement that was annuitized to provide for this man for the rest of his life.
Crushed Foot Injury
While working in Morgantown, WV for a large national retailer, our client, a young woman in her early twenties, was ordered to use equipment that she was not properly trained to use. In the course of attempting to complete her task, she sustained a severe crush injury to her foot. Due to this incident, our client lost full use of this foot for the rest of her life and was living with chronic, persistent pain.
Our firm was able to obtain a sizable settlement which took care of all her medical bills and future treatment for her foot injury. The settlement was ample enough to allow this young woman to go back to college and retrain for employment which will accommodate her permanent disability.
Crushed Leg Injury
Imagine having your leg crushed so badly in an accident that you have to undergo two surgeries to insert multiple pins and have a rod hammered into the bone just to stabilize the femur. Unfortunately, the first rod inserted into the bone didn’t accomplish the desired effect, so the rod had to be removed and surgically reinserted. Imagine the great pain, the months of therapy and recovery, and the frustration of knowing you can never return to the type of work you have performed for decades.
Jeff Robinette was able to obtain a great enough settlement to pay this man’s medical bills in their entirety and money enough to start a new business so he could work and live a productive life even with his permanent impairment.
