A defective product injury occurs when a product is designed, manufactured, or marketed in a way that causes harm. You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our firm explains your options and helps you pursue the right remedy in California.
California has distinct time limits for filing product liability claims. It is important to act quickly so your claim is not barred. We review deadlines during your free consultation and can lay out a plan tailored to your case.
Bring documents related to the injury and product: medical records, receipts, warranty information, and any correspondence with manufacturers. If possible, bring photos or video of the product and the injury.
Liable parties can include manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and others involved in the product’s design, testing, or marketing. Your attorney will help identify all responsible parties.
Cases may settle out of court or proceed to trial. A fair settlement depends on the strength of the defect, liability, and damages, as well as the willingness of the parties to negotiate.
