Were You Injured by a Consumer Product in West Virginia?
Despite some of the strongest consumer safety laws in the world, many thousands of Americans are injured every year because of consumer product defects. When a kitchen appliance causes a severe electrical burn, a power tool fails to turn off properly or a gas grill explodes, the injuries or death that result can cause a lifetime of financial loss for the victim and family.
Free Consultation – No Attorneys’ Fees Unless You Win
If you have been injured by a defective consumer product in your home or in your car, you are entitled to seek significant money damages for your medical care, lost earnings, and pain and suffering. At Robinette Legal Group, our West Virginia product defect attorneys know that people don’t want to file frivolous, unnecessary lawsuits. In many cases, the only thing forcing a manufacturer to improve the design and operation of a dangerous product is a lawsuit, resulting in a high settlement or jury award. Let our West Virginia personal injury law firm stand up and fight for you.
As former insurance defense lawyers, we were often hired to defend our industrial clients and insurance companies against individuals who had nowhere else to turn to seek compensation for their injuries. Manufacturers and their insurance providers will use every resource available to protect themselves from liability.
Our consumer protection lawyers are recognized as a prominent personal injury litigation team representing victims of consumer product defects throughout West Virginia. We know the amount of financial and legal resources insurance companies will put into defending their bottom line.

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 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.
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.
