Product liability is the area of law that holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible for injuries caused by defective products. Claims may involve design defects, manufacturing defects, or missing or inadequate warnings. If you were harmed, you may be entitled to compensation. It is important to consult with an attorney early to understand your rights and options.
Anyone involved in the chain of distribution may be liable for a defect, including the manufacturer, designer, distributor, and retailer. Depending on the case, multiple parties can share responsibility for injuries.
California’s deadlines for filing claims vary by type and facts. In many personal injury and product liability cases, you typically must file within two years of the injury or discovery of the injury. It is essential to consult promptly to avoid losing rights.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future treatment costs. In some cases, you may also recover transportation or home care costs and court costs.
While not required, having a legal advocate can help navigate complex rules, deadlines, and negotiations. A product liability attorney can assess liability, gather evidence, and pursue the best possible outcome.
Bring medical records, diagnosis, a list of medications, proof of expenses, any related correspondence, product information, receipts, and contact information for witnesses.
Many cases settle before trial, but some proceed to trial when a fair settlement cannot be reached. We prepare thoroughly for all possibilities and will explain options as they arise.
Fault is determined by analyzing defect type (design, manufacturing, or warnings) and showing the defect caused the injury. The analysis may involve expert inspection, testing, and review of product history.
A defective product is one that has a defect that makes it unreasonably dangerous for its intended use, such as a design flaw, manufacturing error, or inadequate warnings.
After filing, expect discovery, negotiations, and possibly trial. We will explain options, keep you informed, and guide you through each stage.
