A defective product is one with a design, manufacturing, or warning flaw that injures you. In many cases, liability rests with the designer, manufacturer, or distributor who released the product to consumers. Proving defect and causation is essential to recovery. We review medical records, gather product information, and consult experts as needed to build a solid claim.
Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can bear responsibility depending on how the product moved from production to you. In some cases multiple parties share liability. We identify the responsible entities and pursue accountability on your behalf.
California has a statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Generally, you must file within two years of the injury, but there are exceptions based on age and other factors. We explain timelines and help protect your rights.
Damages may include medical expenses, hospital stays, rehabilitation, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and compensation for pain and suffering. In some cases punitive damages may be available depending on conduct.
Many defective product cases settle before going to trial, but some proceed to court to obtain a verdict. We prepare thoroughly for all outcomes and pursue the best possible result.
Bring identification, medical records, medical bills, proof of purchase, product packaging, manuals, and any incident reports. Photos or videos of the product and injuries can also be helpful.
Fault is shown through product testing, expert analysis, recall information, and documentation of how the product failed. We gather and present these materials to establish liability.
