Common types of defects include design flaws, manufacturing errors, and insufficient instructions or warnings.
A defective product injury occurs when a consumer is harmed by a product that was unreasonably dangerous due to a flaw in design, manufacture, or labeling.
The core elements are defect, causation, and damages, followed by discovery, negotiations, and, if needed, litigation to seek compensation.
This glossary defines terms used in defective product injury cases and helps you understand the process.

Defective product liability covers injuries caused by products with manufacturing defects, design defects, or inadequate warnings. Plaintiffs must show the product was defective when it left the seller and that the defect caused their injury.
In California, you generally have two years to file a personal injury claim, with some exceptions. It is important to act quickly to protect evidence and meet deadlines.
Damages often include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. In some cases, punitive damages may be available for particularly egregious conduct.
Many firms work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront if you win. We will explain any costs and fees before you proceed.
Collect medical records, incident reports, product packaging, receipts, and photos of injuries. A written diary of symptoms can also help.

Yes. An attorney can help evaluate liability, gather evidence, and handle negotiations and filings. Self-representation can result in missed deadlines and weaker outcomes.
If a product was recalled, you may still have remedies if the recall relates to your injury. Recall status can influence liability and available compensation.
Design defects are evaluated by whether the product is unreasonably dangerous in its intended use. Manufacturing defects involve a deviation from the intended design during production.
