A defective product injury qualifies when the product was defective and caused harm. Common defects include design flaws, manufacturing defects, or missing or unsafe warnings. You may be able to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Liability can lie with manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, or retailers, depending on the defect type and where the product was sold. Proof may involve product testing, recall notices, and expert analysis; we help gather this evidence.
The statute of limitations for product liability cases in California is typically two years from the injury or discovery of the injury, but there are exceptions. Early consultation helps ensure you preserve your rights and comply with deadlines.
