Defective product liability covers injuries caused by a product’s defect. It may involve design flaws, manufacturing problems, or missing warnings, and you can seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. A qualified attorney can help determine the best path for your situation.
Anyone who was injured by a defective product may have a claim, including consumers, bystanders, and family members who suffer damages due to a product’s defect. It does not require you to be the manufacturer or retailer.
In California, the statute of limitations for product liability claims is generally two years from the date of injury, but there are exceptions. It’s important to consult an attorney promptly to preserve your rights.
You may be able to recover medical expenses, ongoing care costs, lost income, and compensation for pain and suffering. Punitive damages are rare and depend on the circumstances.
While not required, a lawyer can help gather evidence, identify liable parties, navigate complex laws, and negotiate effectively. A lawyer can also explain options if fault is unclear.
Bring any medical records, doctor notes, photos of the injury, product packaging, receipts, proof of purchase, and details about how the injury occurred.
Many defective product cases settle before trial, but some may proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Our goal is to advocate for you and pursue the best possible outcome.
Cases may be funded on a contingency basis, meaning you pay no upfront fees and we are paid from any recovery. If there is no recovery, you typically owe nothing.
If the product was purchased from a retailer, liability can fall on the manufacturer, distributor, or seller, depending on the defect and proof of fault. We assess the supply chain to identify all responsible parties.
Recalls and safety notices can support your claim by showing the product’s risk was known. Document recalls and relate them to your injury when possible.
