Product liability is a legal theory that allows injured consumers to seek compensation from manufacturers for harm caused by defective goods. In many cases, a claim may be based on a product having a design flaw, a manufacturing defect, or inadequate warnings. A successful claim requires showing that the defect existed when the product left the manufacturer and that it caused the injury.
In California, statutes of limitations apply to product liability claims and may vary by the type of case. Generally, a claim must be filed within a couple of years of injury, but deadlines can depend on the specifics of the incident and the parties involved. Consulting with an attorney helps confirm deadlines and preserve evidence.
Damages in product liability cases can include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and intangible losses like pain and suffering. If a fault is established, you may be entitled to compensation for these harms and related expenses.
While you can pursue certain remedies without an attorney, having a lawyer can improve your understanding of rights, deadlines, and options. An attorney can communicate with manufacturers, manage paperwork, and help you pursue appropriate compensation.
Bring any documents related to the injury and product, including medical records, test or treatment notes, purchase receipts, the product itself, packaging, and any recall notices. Photos of injuries and the product can also be valuable.
Many product liability cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay no upfront fees and fees are paid from a settlement or court judgment. We will discuss fee arrangements during the initial consultation.
Yes. Depending on the case, claims may be filed against multiple manufacturers or distributors if more than one party contributed to the defect or the injury.
A design defect is a flaw in the product’s overall design that makes it inherently unsafe, while a manufacturing defect occurs during production and results in a faulty item despite an initially sound design.
Most product liability matters are resolved through negotiation or settlement. Some cases proceed to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached or if it serves your best interests.
