Product liability holds brands and sellers accountable when a product causes harm due to a defect. Claims may be based on design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn.

In California, product liability claims can involve design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn. If a product harmed you, you may be eligible for compensation. A consultation helps determine if your case fits these categories and what steps to take.
The statute of limitations for most product liability claims in California is two years from the date of injury, with certain exceptions. Some claims may have shorter or longer deadlines depending on the product and parties involved. It is important to discuss your timeline with a lawyer promptly.
Yes. Having legal counsel can help you navigate deadlines, gather evidence, and negotiate with manufacturers and insurers. A lawyer can explain options and help determine the best path forward.
Costs in a product liability case vary. Many California attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay little to no upfront fees. Other costs may include court filings and case-related expenses, which are often discussed as the case progresses.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, future medical costs, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. The exact amount depends on the case details and prognosis.
To start a claim, contact the firm for an initial evaluation and provide details about the injury, product, and parties involved. We will guide you on the next steps and needed documentation.
Liability can involve manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, and in some cases multiple parties share responsibility for a defective product.
Evidence includes medical records, product packaging, recall notices, warnings, photos, and, when needed, independent opinions and testing results.
You may pursue a product liability claim without a lawyer, but having counsel improves the odds of a clear, well-supported case and helps manage deadlines and negotiations.
Pursuing a claim does not prevent recalls or safety regulations. Claims can proceed alongside recalls and regulatory actions to promote safer products.
