Product liability is the area of law that holds manufacturers, distributors, and sellers responsible for harm caused by defective products. Claims can involve design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn, and may seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
California generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a product liability claim, though certain cases may have different deadlines. There are also rules for minors and for discovery, so consulting an attorney is important to determine the exact timeline for your situation.
Manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and sometimes component suppliers can be liable if their product caused injury. If a recall was issued or there was a failure to warn, more parties may be involved.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In some cases, additional remedies or punitive damages may be available depending on the conduct of the parties and the case details.
