A defective product injury occurs when a product fails to perform as intended due to design, manufacturing, or labeling defects, causing harm to a consumer.
California law allows claims against manufacturers, sellers, and distributors, subject to proof of defect, causation, and damages, along with applicable time limits.
These cases involve showing the product was defective and that the defect caused your injuries, often under theories of strict liability or negligence.
Elements typically include defect, causation, and damages, followed by investigation, evidence gathering, negotiation, and, if needed, litigation.
Definitions of common terms you may encounter in defective product injury cases.
Liability means legal responsibility for injuries caused by a defective product, which may lie with manufacturers, distributors, or retailers depending on the defect type.
Damages refer to the compensation sought or awarded for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from the defect.
Under strict liability, a defendant may be held responsible for injuries caused by a defective product regardless of fault if the product was defective when released.
A recall is an action by a manufacturer to remove or correct a defective product in the market.
Options may include pursuing a manufacturer claim, filing a product liability lawsuit, or seeking settlement through negotiations or mediation. Each path has its own timelines and requirements.
