A defective product injury occurs when a product fails to perform safely and causes harm due to a defect in its design, manufacturing, or labeling. This kind of claim focuses on whether the product was defective and whether that defect caused your injuries. A skilled attorney can help identify the defect type and connect it to your harm.
Typically, the person injured by the defect can file the claim, and in some cases family members or guardians may assist on behalf of a minor or incapacitated individual. Depending on the situation, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers may share responsibility for the defect.
California generally imposes a statute of limitations on product liability claims, often two years from the injury or discovery of the injury. There are exceptions for minors and certain recall situations. It is important to consult promptly to protect your rights.
Damages can include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, future income, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Some losses may extend into future treatment or care needs, depending on the injury.
