The statute of limitations for product liability in California is generally two years from the date of injury, though exceptions can apply. It’s important to consult promptly to preserve evidence and avoid missing deadlines.

Talking to a lawyer before contacting the manufacturer can help preserve evidence and avoid admitting fault. A preliminary discussion can outline the best steps to take and set expectations.
Bring medical records, invoices, product packaging, purchase receipts, and any correspondence with manufacturers. Photos of injuries and the product, if available, can strengthen your claim.
Fault is determined by showing that a defect caused the injury and that the defendant had a duty to warn or safe. Evidence from testing, manuals, and expert opinions often plays a critical role.
Yes, claims can proceed if the product was used in a reasonably foreseeable way, but misuse may affect liability. We evaluate the specific facts to determine accountability.
A strong case shows a defect directly caused your injury, has solid evidence, and clear liability among responsible parties. Documentation, medical records, and timely action strengthen the claim.
