Product liability law covers harm caused by defective products, including design defects, manufacturing defects, and improper warnings. In California, you may pursue claims against makers, distributors, and sellers when a product causes injury.
Time limits, responsibilities of the parties, and the evidence needed to prove fault are all important parts of the process, and we guide you through every step.
Product liability is a legal concept that allows a harmed consumer to recover damages from manufacturers or others responsible for a defective product. California follows theories of liability that may involve fault, negligence, or strict liability depending on the case.
To win a product liability claim you generally need to prove a duty of care, breach, causation, and damages, and you will typically navigate investigations, discovery, negotiation, and potential trial.
Key terms that often appear in product liability cases are explained below to help you understand the process.
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers and sellers for injuries caused by defective products.
A manufacturing defect occurs when a product that was designed to be safe departs from its intended design during production and becomes dangerous.
A design defect is a flaw in the product’s design that makes the entire line unreasonably dangerous, even if manufactured correctly.
Implied warranties and warning requirements protect consumers; failing to warn about known risks can create liability for sellers and manufacturers.
Product liability cases may involve a variety of theories, from strict liability for defective products to negligence or warranty claims. Our team explains the best route for you based on the facts and evidence.
In some cases, a straightforward defect with clear liability can be resolved through negotiation or mediation without a lengthy trial.
