Product liability claims arise when a defective product injures someone, whether through design, manufacturing, or warning defects.
In California, a successful case may involve strict liability, negligence, or warranty claims, depending on the facts.
Product liability is the responsibility of makers and sellers to avoid releasing dangerous products and to compensate those harmed by defects.
Typical elements include defect, causation, and damages, with processes including investigation, evidence gathering, filing, discovery, negotiation, and possible trial.
