Product liability law holds manufacturers responsible for injuries caused by defective products. In California, you may pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. In many cases, settlements can be reached without a trial, but some matters proceed to court for a resolution. The exact timeline varies based on the facts and court schedules.
Anyone who was injured by a defective product may have a claim, including consumers, bystanders, and caregivers. You do not need to be the product’s owner to file a claim. In some cases, workplaces may also have claims for employees.
California generally gives injuries from defective products a statute of limitations of two years to file a claim, with some exceptions. It is important to consult with an attorney promptly to protect your rights.
Damages in product liability cases may include medical expenses, lost wages, future care costs, and pain and suffering. In some situations, punitive damages may be available.
While you can seek compensation on your own, having a lawyer can help you evaluate liability, collect evidence, negotiate settlements, and pursue a fair result in court.
Bring medical records, any product manuals, packaging, receipts, and a summary of your injury and treatment to your initial meeting.
Most product liability cases are resolved through settlement or mediation, though some may proceed to trial. Your attorney will guide you through the process and explain options.
