A defective product is a product with a flaw that makes it unreasonably dangerous for its intended use. If you were harmed by such a product, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.
In California, product liability claims may be brought by individuals who were injured by a defective product, as well as guardians acting on behalf of minors. If the product was used as intended and caused harm, you may have a claim against the manufacturer, distributor, or seller.
California generally sets a deadline for filing personal injury product liability claims in two years from the date of injury, with certain exceptions. Some injuries discovered later may allow for a discovery rule, but deadlines vary by case and circumstance, so prompt legal guidance is important.
Bring any evidence of the product, purchase receipts, repair or medical records, photos of injuries, and recall notices if available. Also note when and where the incident occurred, and any witnesses or reports you have.
While you can pursue a claim on your own, a product liability attorney can help assess liability, gather strong evidence, and navigate complex regulations. We can explain your options and represent you through negotiation or litigation if needed.
Possible damages include medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and pain and suffering. In some cases, you may also recover future medical costs and impact on quality of life.
Many product liability claims settle before trial, but some cases proceed to court when necessary to obtain fair compensation. We prepare for all outcomes and keep you informed at every stage.
Timeline varies based on case complexity, damages, and parties involved. Simple cases may resolve quickly, while complex matters can take longer to reach a settlement or trial.
A recall can support liability theories and demonstrate that the manufacturer was aware of defects. Recall information, testing, and safety notices are important parts of building your claim.
Recalls may establish knowledge of a defect and strengthen your position. We analyze recall data, warranties, and related product information to pursue the most effective remedy.
