A product liability claim seeks accountability from manufacturers, distributors, and retailers for injuries caused by a dangerous or defective product.
Key elements include proving defect, causation, and damages, followed by investigation, discovery, settlement negotiations, and possible trial.
Glossary terms below explain common concepts in product liability cases.
A defect is a flaw in a product that makes it unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.
Many product liability claims rely on strict liability, meaning the plaintiff does not need to prove negligence, only that the product was defective and caused harm.
Duty to warn refers to the obligation of manufacturers to provide clear, adequate warnings about risks associated with a product.
Remedies describe the recoverable damages including medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
You may pursue a product liability claim through a civil lawsuit, settlement, or negotiated resolution. We help assess which route offers the best chance for full compensation.
In less complex cases with a clear defect and damage, a prompt negotiation may yield a favorable settlement without long litigation.
If available insurance and liability limits align with damages, a limited approach can be efficient.

Injuries common to product liability include burns, cuts, or fractures from defective items. Medical care and ongoing treatment may be required. You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills and lost wages.
Liability can lie with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, or suppliers depending on the defect and who sold the product. A careful review helps identify responsible parties.
California generally allows a statute of limitations for product liability claims. Consulting an attorney quickly helps preserve evidence and protect rights.
Possible compensation includes medical expenses, wage loss, pain and suffering, and, in some cases, punitive damages where warranted.
It is often best to speak with your attorney before talking with manufacturers or insurers who may downplay the injuries or liability.
Having a lawyer can help organize evidence, communicate with insurers, and pursue appropriate remedies.
Bring medical records, photos, product packaging, receipts, and any correspondence related to the injury.
