A defective product injury occurs when a consumer is harmed by a product that failed to perform safely as intended. Liability may involve design defects, manufacturing flaws, or improper labeling.
Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can share liability depending on the product and the role each party played in bringing the defective item to market.
California has deadlines called statutes of limitations that vary by case. It is important to consult a lawyer promptly to protect your rights.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and non economic damages such as pain and suffering.
In many defective product cases, liability can be established under product liability theories without proving the manufacturer was negligent in every detail.
It is usually best to speak with your attorney before communicating with the manufacturer to avoid compromising your claim.
Bring medical records, proof of purchase, photos of the product, recalls, and any correspondence with manufacturers.
Many defective product cases settle out of court, but some may proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Case value depends on injuries, medical costs, time missed from work, and long-term impact on your life.
