Defective product claims arise when a design, manufacturing, or labeling defect causes injury. These cases may involve multiple responsible parties and complex liability theories.
In California, product liability law allows recovery for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages when a defect leads to harm.
Product liability covers the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and sellers for injuries caused by defective goods. A successful claim requires showing the product was defective, the defect caused the injury, and proper use of the product.
Elements include duty of care, breach, causation, and damages. The process typically involves investigation, evidence collection, expert consultation, filing a claim, negotiations, and possibly trial.
Common terms used in product liability claims are defined here for quick understanding of the process.
Strict liability holds manufacturers responsible for injuries caused by defective products regardless of fault or intent.
Causation links the defect to your injuries and must be shown to win a claim.
Negligence means failing to exercise reasonable care in design, manufacture, or labeling of a product.
Express or implied warranties promise safe performance; breach can create liability.
Options typically include negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or filing a lawsuit. Each path has different timelines and potential outcomes.
