Product liability is the area of law that holds manufacturers, distributors, and sellers responsible for injuries caused by defective products. It includes safety recalls, proper labeling, and reasonable warnings.
Elements often include proving the defect, demonstrating causation, and showing damages, while following deadlines, collecting records, and coordinating with experts to support the claim.
Understanding common terms helps you follow the legal process and make informed decisions about your case.
A product that fails to meet safety expectations due to design, manufacturing, or labeling flaws and can cause harm.
Under strict liability, a manufacturer can be held responsible for injuries caused by a defective product even without proof of fault, when the product is unreasonably dangerous.
Causation means the defect directly caused the injury, without an intervening cause, and connects the product to the harm.
Contributory negligence means the injured party contributed to the harm; California uses comparative fault rules to determine recoveries.
Options range from negotiations and recalls to court action. We compare strengths and risks of each path and help you choose the best approach for your case.
