Product liability covers defects in design, manufacturing, or labeling that render a product dangerous for consumers.
Claims can involve multiple parties, including manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, and may require expert testimony to prove defect and causation.
Product liability is the legal responsibility of manufacturers and sellers for injuries caused by defective products. In California, defective products can lead to liability under theories of strict liability or negligence.
To prevail, you generally must show a defect, that the defect existed when the product left the seller, causation, and damages. The process includes investigation, filing, discovery, negotiations, and, if needed, trial.
Key terms used in product liability cases.
A flaw in a product that makes it unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.
A deviation from the intended design during production that creates a dangerous product.
A product that is built with a design flaw that renders it unsafe when used as intended.
A legal theory that holds a seller or manufacturer responsible for injuries caused by a defective product, regardless of fault.

Product liability involves holding manufacturers and sellers accountable for injuries caused by dangerous products. In many cases, a defect in design, manufacturing, or labeling can form the basis of a claim. Depending on the facts, theories such as strict liability or negligence may apply.
Anyone harmed by a defective product, including consumers and family members, can pursue a claim. Survivors in wrongful death cases may also seek compensation with proper documentation.
In California, the typical filing deadline is two years from the injury, with some recalls and discovery rules that can affect deadlines. It is important to consult early to protect your rights.
Compensation may cover medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases, related costs such as rehabilitation or long-term care may be included depending on the impact of the injury.
Having an attorney helps manage deadlines, gather necessary evidence, and navigate complex liability theories. An attorney can advise on the best path forward for your case.
Seek medical attention promptly and keep all records. Preserve the product, packaging, recalls, and any safety notices related to the injury.
Recall information can be critical to liability. Preserve all related materials and report concerns to authorities and your attorney.
Many product liability cases settle outside of court, but some may proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached or if the issues are particularly complex.
Liability is shown through evidence such as defect analysis, manufacturing records, and expert testimony demonstrating a causal link between the defect and the injury.
Fees vary by case; many lawyers work on a contingency basis, meaning they are paid from a portion of any recovery. Ask about all costs and what is included.
