California’s statute of limitations for product liability is generally two years from injury, but exceptions apply. It is important to consult a lawyer soon to preserve evidence and avoid missing deadlines.
Damages can include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases punitive damages. Special damages cover out-of-pocket costs and future treatment needs.
Many defective product cases settle out of court, but some proceed to trial if negotiations fail. Your attorney negotiates, but also prepares for potential court appearance.
