Product liability covers injuries caused by defective or unsafe products, from consumer goods to medical devices.
Liability can rest with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, or others in the chain of distribution depending on fault and California law.
In California, product liability claims may be pursued under theories of design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn when a product injures a consumer.
A successful claim typically requires proving a defect, showing causation to the injury, and demonstrating damages, along with proper notice, investigation, and a path toward resolution through negotiation or litigation.
This glossary explains common terms used in product liability cases to help you understand the claims and the steps involved.
A design defect exists when a product’s intended design makes it unreasonably dangerous for its ordinary use.
A manufacturing defect occurs when a product deviates from its intended design during production, creating a dangerous condition.
Inadequate or missing warnings or instructions about a product’s risks can expose makers and sellers to liability.
Under strict liability, a manufacturer may be responsible for injuries caused by a defective product regardless of fault if the product was unreasonably dangerous.
When a defective product causes injury, you may pursue a product liability claim, a warranty claim, or other related options. We help you assess the best path based on facts, evidence, and California law.
In clear-cut cases with solid liability and modest damages, a focused approach may resolve the matter without a lengthy trial.

Damages in a product liability case can include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and compensation for pain and suffering where permitted by law. Additionally, you may be entitled to future medical care and related losses as the case develops.
California product liability cases vary in time depending on the complexity of the claim, evidence, and settlement negotiations. Many cases settle within months, while others proceed to litigation and take longer.
Having a lawyer is not strictly required, but product liability claims are complex and experienced guidance can help maximize recovery. An attorney can evaluate options, gather evidence, and negotiate with insurers or defendants.
Defendants can include manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and other parties in the supply chain depending on fault. Multiple parties may share liability in some cases.
If you were injured by a recalled product, contact an attorney promptly to understand your rights and options. Gather records and avoid delaying actions that could affect your claim.
Fault is determined by proving a defect, causation, and damages, along with applicable notice. Evidence may include product samples, testing, expert testimony, and medical records.
Fees are commonly on a contingency basis in many personal injury cases, meaning you pay nothing upfront. If you win or settle, the firm receives a portion of the recovery as agreed.
Some product liability cases go to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. We prepare the case for trial while continuing settlement negotiations to preserve options.
A product liability claim focuses on defect or dangerous condition, while a warranty claim centers on promises made by the seller or manufacturer. In many cases, a combination of theories may apply.
