Product liability covers injuries caused by defective goods. Claims typically involve the product’s defect and liability for design, manufacturing, or labeling issues. You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, depending on the facts and California law.
Liability can be placed on manufacturers, distributors, retailers, or others involved in bringing the product to market. Even if you only used the product briefly, you may have a claim if it was defective.
Damages may include medical expenses, income loss, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. In some cases, punitive damages may be available if the conduct was particularly wrongful.
California’s statute of limitations for product liability claims is generally two years from the injury. Some claims have different deadlines based on the product and parties involved, so prompt legal guidance is important.
While a lawyer is not required, having one helps gather evidence, handle negotiations, and protect deadlines. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your options.
Bring photos, receipts, warranties, medical records, and a list of witnesses. Also note the product model, serial numbers, where and when the injury occurred, and any recalls or notices related to the product.
recalls can support liability claims, but not all recalls create a legal case. We review recalls and safety notices for relevance and applicability under California law.
The typical process starts with a complaint, followed by discovery and negotiations, and may proceed to trial if needed. We guide you through each stage and explain your options.
