Product liability covers injuries caused by defective or dangerous products, including design flaws, manufacturing defects, and inadequate warnings.
Claims can involve manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, and may require proof of defect, causation, and damages.
Product liability is a legal framework that holds sellers and makers responsible when a consumer is injured by a faulty product. Theories can include negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty.
Elements typically include a defect, its connection to the injury, and the damages suffered. The process often involves investigation, evidence gathering, filing a complaint, discovery, negotiation, and possible trial.
This glossary explains common terms used in product liability cases to help you understand the process.
A defect is a flaw in a product that makes it unsafe or unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.
Causation links the defect to the injuries you sustained, showing that the defect was a substantial factor in causing harm.
Liability refers to legal responsibility for injuries or damages caused by a defective product.
In many product liability claims, manufacturers can be held strictly liable for injuries caused by dangerous products regardless of fault.
Options include pursuing a product liability claim, filing a consumer protection action, or negotiating a settlement. Each path has different deadlines and potential outcomes.

Liability can extend to manufacturers, distributors, and retailers who sold the defective product. In some cases, multiple parties may share responsibility, and evidence must show how the defect led to injury.
California sets deadlines known as statutes of limitations for filing claims. It’s important to speak with a lawyer soon to preserve evidence and avoid missing deadlines.
