Product liability law covers injuries caused by defects in design, manufacturing, or warning labels.
If you were harmed by a product, you may have rights to recover medical costs, rehabilitation, and more through a claim or lawsuit.
Product liability is legal responsibility placed on manufacturers, sellers, and others involved in bringing a product to market for harm caused by that product.
Defect, causation, and damages form the core elements, while the process involves investigation, evidence collection, and negotiation or trial.
Important terms to know include defect, design defect, manufacturing defect, and failure to warn.
A defect is a problem in a product that makes it unsafe for ordinary use.
A design defect occurs when the product’s overall design makes it unreasonably dangerous.

Product liability covers harm caused by defects in design, manufacturing, or labeling. If you were injured, an attorney can help determine fault and pursue compensation.
Anyone harmed by a defective product may have a claim, including consumers and business users. In California, liability can rest with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and others involved in bringing the product to market.
The statute of limitations for product liability in California is generally two years from injury, with some exceptions. Timely action is important; contact a lawyer to review your case even if the injury seems minor.
Compensation can cover medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation, and pain and suffering. Depending on the case, punitive damages may be available in rare circumstances.
While you can self-advocate, a lawyer helps with evidence, negotiate with insurers, and navigate deadlines. Having counsel may improve the chances for a fair settlement or a successful trial.
Many attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning fees are paid from a portion of any recovery. Discuss costs upfront during your initial consultation to understand potential expenses.
Bring medical records, details about the product, purchase receipts, photos, and any communications with manufacturers. Also note when and where the injury occurred and any witnesses who can help.
Most product liability cases do not go to trial; many resolve through settlements. If a case goes to court, we guide you through the process and present clear evidence.
Recalls can support a product liability claim by showing the product’s safety issue was known. However, recalls alone do not guarantee liability; the product must be connected to your injury.
Case duration varies with complexity, court schedules, and how quickly evidence is gathered. Your attorney will explain timelines and keep you updated throughout the process.
