Injuries can include severe medical complications, surgeries, or long-term health issues tied to a dangerous drug or device. Cases may involve recalls, adverse reactions, and device malfunctions that lead to injury.
California generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim, with some exceptions. Some cases may have shorter or longer deadlines depending on the product and defendant.
Bring medical records, prescription information, device details, and any recall notices. If you have documents, copies of communications with doctors and manufacturers can help.

Many of our cases operate on a contingency fee basis: you pay nothing upfront and only if we recover compensation.
Case duration varies, but complex product liability matters often take months to years depending on issues like discovery, expert work, and court schedules.
FDA approvals do not always shield a product from liability; if warnings were inadequate or the device was defectively manufactured, recovery may still be possible.
In some situations, a class action may be possible, but many cases proceed as individual claims depending on damages and defendants.
Remedies can include economic damages like medical costs and lost wages, non-economic damages for pain and suffering, and, in some cases, punitive damages where appropriate.
Compensation is based on medical expenses, lost income, and impact on life. We work to document losses and pursue full and fair compensation.
