A defective product claim arises when a consumer product is unreasonably dangerous or fails to warn about risks.
In California, product liability can involve design defects, manufacturing defects, or inadequate labeling.
Defective product claims focus on injuries caused by a product that is unsafe or improperly manufactured, leading to liability for the seller, manufacturer, or distributor.
Elements typically include proof of defect, causation, and damages, followed by investigation, filing, negotiation, and if needed, trial.
This glossary explains terms commonly used in defective product claims.
In many product liability cases, manufacturers can be held strictly liable for injuries caused by a defective product, regardless of fault.
Causation links the defect to the injuries you suffered.
Warranty relates to the manufacturer’s promises about product quality and performance.
A recall indicates safety concerns identified after release and can affect liability and consumer rights.
You may choose to pursue a claim against the manufacturer, retailer, or others, or seek alternative dispute resolution depending on your situation.
If liability is straightforward and damages are well documented, a settlement can resolve the matter efficiently.

Damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and in some cases incidental costs. An attorney can help identify all damages and document them with records and expert testimony if needed.
California’s statute of limitations for product liability claims is generally two years from the date of injury or discovery of the injury. Certain factors may shorten or extend deadlines, so prompt consultation is important.
If you were injured by a recalled product, preserve the product and recall notices, and seek medical care. We evaluate recall history and any remedies offered by the manufacturer and pursue appropriate compensation.
Even without an injury, some defective design or manufacturing claims may proceed if there is evidence of exposure to risk. However, damages typically require injury, and an attorney can advise on your options.
Liability can rest with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, or others in the supply chain. Proving defect, causation, and damages is essential to a successful claim.

Most personal injury cases use a contingency fee arrangement, meaning you pay no upfront fees unless we recover. We discuss fees during the initial consultation.
Key evidence includes product specifications, testing data, recall notices, medical records, and expert opinions. Documentation linking the defect to your injuries is essential.
Recalls can influence liability, damages, and remedies. We review recall history and warnings to build a strong claim.
