Product liability covers injuries caused by defective designs, manufacturing flaws, or inadequate warnings on consumer products.
A successful claim often requires proving a defect, the defect caused your injury, and the extent of damages.
Product liability is a legal duty that manufacturers and sellers owe to keep products safe and free from defects; when a defect causes harm, the injured party may have a right to compensation.
Typical elements include duty, breach, causation, and damages, followed by investigation, filing, discovery, and settlement or trial.
This glossary defines common terms used in product liability cases to help you understand the process.
A breach occurs when a seller or manufacturer fails to honor the terms of a warranty, or sells a product that does not meet promised safety standards.
In product liability, strict liability means you may recover damages even if the manufacturer was not negligent, provided a defect caused the injury.
A manufacturing defect is a flaw that occurs during production, making a single unit unsafe while others are safe.
Failure to warn, or inadequate labeling, can render a product dangerous and liable if the defect caused injury.
Product liability claims may be pursued under theories of negligence, warranty, strict liability, or consumer protection laws depending on the facts.
In straightforward cases, resolving the matter quickly can save time and costs while still getting fair compensation.
Less complex cases may not require exhaustive investigation, allowing a faster path to settlement.
A thorough review of product design, manufacturing records, and warning labels helps build a stronger claim.
Coordinated litigation, negotiation, and accounting for damages can maximize recovery.

In California, a product liability claim can be based on design defects, manufacturing flaws, or failure to warn. The specific theory depends on the product and the circumstances of your injury. An attorney can help determine the best approach for your case.
Statutes of limitations in California vary by theory and circumstances, but many product liability claims must be filed within two years of injury. An attorney can evaluate your timeline and help you protect your rights.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and pain and suffering. In some cases, you may also recover for long-term impairment and future care needs.
Some cases may offer contingency arrangements, meaning you pay nothing unless you recover. Other costs may be advanced by the firm and reimbursed from a settlement or verdict.
Recalls, warnings, and regulatory actions can impact liability and damages. Having a lawyer helps identify all relevant defenses and ensure you are fairly compensated.
Bring any medical records, accident reports, product packaging, purchase receipts, photos of the product, and details about how you were injured.
Most product liability cases can be resolved through negotiation, but some matters proceed to trial. Your attorney will guide you through the process.
Liability may extend to manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and sometimes designers or engineers responsible for the product.
A recall can affect liability and damages in various ways, including whether the recalled product was involved in the injury and the status of recall remedies.
Product liability cases focus on defect-related liability, whereas other personal injury cases may involve different theories such as negligence or premises liability.
