California E-Cigarette and Vaping Injury Lawyers
Vaping devices are used by millions of people, but defective products can cause sudden and severe injuries. Lithium-ion batteries can overheat, fail or explode, and poorly made or poorly labeled products can put users at risk. If an e-cigarette or vaping device injured you or a family member, Yerushalmi Law Firm can investigate and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Common E-Cigarette and Vape Injuries
- Battery explosions and fires that cause burns to the face, hands, legs or groin
- Facial and dental injuries from exploding devices
- Chemical burns from leaking e-liquid
- Injuries from defective chargers and replacement batteries
- Harm from products that were mislabeled or sold without adequate warnings
Who May Be Responsible
Depending on the facts, responsibility may fall on the device manufacturer, the battery maker, the distributor or the retailer that sold the product. California product liability law can hold companies responsible when a defective or unreasonably dangerous product causes harm.
What To Do After a Vaping Injury
- Seek emergency medical care right away, even for burns that seem minor.
- Keep the device, battery, charger and packaging in a safe place. Do not throw them away.
- Take photos of your injuries and of any damage to your clothing or property.
- Write down where and when you bought the product.
- Contact an attorney before speaking with the seller or an insurance company.
