Product liability law protects consumers who are injured by defective goods. It covers design defects, manufacturing errors, and failure to warn about risks.
Liability may involve manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and others in the supply chain. Each case depends on the defect type and available evidence.
A product liability claim asserts that a defective product caused injury or property damage. Claims can be based on design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn about hazards.
To prevail, a plaintiff must show a duty to ensure safety, a breach of that duty, a causal connection to the injury, and actual damages. The process typically includes investigation, demand letters, negotiations, and, if needed, litigation.
In this glossary, we define terms used in product liability cases and explain how they apply to your claim.
A defect is a flaw in a product that makes it dangerous or unfit for use.
A design defect occurs when a product is designed in a way that makes it inherently dangerous, even if manufactured correctly.
A manufacturing defect is a deviation from the intended design that occurs during production and creates a danger.
Failure to warn refers to insufficient or absent safety instructions or warnings about risks associated with normal use.
In many situations, pursuing a product liability claim provides the strongest path to compensation and accountability. We review options with you and explain potential outcomes based on the facts and applicable law.
If liability is clear and damages are modest, a targeted claim or settlement negotiation may resolve efficiently.

Product liability covers injuries caused by defective products. It can be grounded in design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn about hazards. In California, you may pursue compensation from manufacturers, distributors, and retailers who contributed to the danger.
Any person harmed by a defective product may have a claim, including consumers and bystanders. Liability can extend to other parties in the supply chain, depending on their role in causing the injury.
California statutes of limitations set deadlines for filing product liability claims. It is important to act promptly to preserve your rights and collect necessary evidence.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Each case is evaluated based on losses and future needs.
While you can file a claim without a lawyer, having an attorney improves the odds of a fair outcome, helps navigate complex laws, and handles negotiations and filings for you.
