First, seek medical attention for your injuries and preserve any evidence related to the incident. Then contact a local product liability attorney to review your options and deadlines. An attorney can explain potential remedies and help you determine the best path forward.
Liability may lie with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, or even a supervisor of a defective product. Depending on the case, multiple parties can share responsibility for injuries.
California generally imposes deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, to file product liability claims. It’s important to start the process early to protect your rights.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases punitive damages. The exact types depend on the claim and evidence.
While you can file a claim without a lawyer, having an attorney increases the likelihood of a full recovery and helps navigate complex rules and deadlines.
Bring details about the product, purchase information, medical records, photos of injuries, the defective item, and any recalls or warnings related to the product.
Many product liability cases settle without going to court, but some proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Costs vary, but many firms work on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and legal fees are paid from any recovery.
Recalls can strengthen a claim by showing the product was known to be dangerous. A lawyer can advise on the impact of recalls on your case.
It is possible to resolve many claims through negotiation or mediation. A court trial is not always required, but it may be pursued if necessary.
