Product liability law covers injuries caused by defective products. It aims to hold manufacturers, distributors, and sellers accountable for harm they cause.
Liability can lie with manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, or retailers who contributed to the defect or its sale. The responsible party depends on the facts of the case.
In California, the statute of limitations for product liability claims is typically two years from the date of injury, with exceptions. It’s important to consult an attorney promptly.
Damages may include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and in some cases punitive damages. The exact recovery depends on the circumstances.
Often both the manufacturer and retailer can be liable, but liability depends on who sold or supplied the defective product. Our team identifies all potentially liable parties.
Bring any documentation related to the injury and the product, including photos, receipts, warranties, medical records, and police reports if applicable. We’ll review them free.
Many product liability cases are resolved through settlements without trial, but some do go to court. We prepare thoroughly for either outcome.
Case timelines vary, but complex claims can take months to years depending on evidence and negotiations.
If a product was recalled, you may have additional recovery options and recall-related remedies.
Fees for product liability lawyers are often handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only if we win or settle your claim.
