A defective product injury occurs when a product is unreasonably dangerous due to its design, manufacture, or labeling, causing harm. These cases involve proving the defect, the link to your injuries, and the damages you incurred. The claim may involve multiple parties, including manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
In California, the statute of limitations for product liability claims generally requires filing within two years of injury, with additional rules for minors and certain recall-related claims. It’s important to consult promptly to preserve your rights and gather necessary evidence.
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases out-of-pocket costs related to treatment. Some claims also seek compensation for future medical needs and diminished earning capacity.
While negligence is a common basis, many defective product claims rely on strict liability or design/manufacturing defects. We explain the applicable theory for your case and how it affects liability.
Damages can include medical costs, wage loss, rehabilitation expenses, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. In some instances, you may also recover for loss of consortium or property damage.
It is generally best to consult with a lawyer before communicating with manufacturers or insurers. A lawyer can advise you on what information to share and how to preserve evidence for your claim.
Bring records of medical treatment, product details (model, serial number, purchase receipt), any recalls or safety notices, photos of injuries, and a summary of how the incident occurred.
Yes. Even if you continued using the product after the injury, you may still have a valid claim if the defect contributed to your harm. We assess each case on its own facts.
A product liability claim focuses on defect-related liability for a defective product, while a general personal injury case may involve broader circumstances. Product liability often involves stronger structural defenses for manufacturers.
Case timelines vary by complexity, evidence availability, and court scheduling. Some claims resolve quickly through settlement, while others may proceed to trial and take longer to conclude.
