This glossary explains common terms you may encounter in product liability matters and how they apply to your claim.
A defect is a flaw in design, manufacturing, or labeling that makes a product unsafe for its intended use.
In some California claims, you may rely on strict liability where the maker is responsible for injuries caused by a defective product, regardless of fault.
A design defect exists when a product’s intended design is unsafe, even when manufactured correctly.
A failure to warn occurs when a product lacks adequate instructions or warnings about risks that could cause harm.
You may pursue a lawsuit, seek a settlement, or explore other remedies. We help you evaluate options based on your situation and goals.
