Defective CVA Paramount Muzzleloaders

If You Were Injured, You Have Rights — Parker Law Group Can Help

When you purchase a premium firearm like the CVA Paramount muzzleloader, you have every right to expect it to perform safely — just as the manufacturer designed and marketed it to do. You do not expect it to fail.

For some owners, that expectation has not been met. There have been numerous reports of the CVA Paramount failing during normal use — with barrel failures sending fragments toward the shooter’s hands, face, and body. Parker Law Group is currently representing clients who allege they were injured in exactly this way.

If you or a family member suffered injuries from a CVA Paramount muzzleloader, Parker Law Group wants to hear from you. Our attorneys have spent decades holding manufacturers accountable for putting dangerous, defective products into the hands of everyday South Carolinians.

The Alleged Defect

Reports indicate that the CVA Paramount can violently fail — in some cases, the barrel ruptures with explosive force during a normal firing sequence. These failures are not the result of user error or improper loading. They are the result of a firearm that was not adequately tested, not properly designed and manufactured, or both.

When a gun fails this way, the shooter is the one who pays the price.

Serious Injuries Linked to CVA Paramount Failures

When a muzzleloader barrel ruptures or a breech plug fails, the results can be devastating and permanent. Reported injuries include:

  • Hand and finger injuries (partial or full amputation, lacerations, fractures)
  • Permanent nerve damage and loss of grip strength
  • Deep lacerations requiring surgery and skin grafting
  • Shrapnel injuries to the face, neck, and chest
  • Eye injuries and risk of permanent vision loss or blindness
  • Facial disfigurement and dental trauma
  • Hearing damage from the uncontrolled blast
  • Psychological trauma and post-incident anxiety

These are not minor injuries. Damage to the hands and eyes can end careers, alter daily life, and result in years of costly medical treatment.
