Product liability covers injuries caused by dangerous or defective goods. Liability may lie with manufacturers, distributors, retailers, or designers.
In California and Cottonwood, you may have a claim if a product caused harm due to a design defect, manufacturing defect, or inadequate warnings or labeling.
A product is considered defective when its design, manufacturing, or labeling creates an unreasonably dangerous condition that causes injury.
Key steps include investigating the incident, identifying liable parties, gathering medical and product data, consulting experts, negotiating settlements, and pursuing litigation if needed.
Below you’ll find common terms used in product liability cases and brief definitions to help you understand the process.
A defect is a flaw in a product that makes it unsafe or unreasonably dangerous for consumers.
A manufacturing defect happens when a product deviates from its intended design during production and causes harm.
A design defect exists when the product’s overall design makes it unreasonably dangerous, even if manufactured correctly.
Failure to warn means adequate safety information or warnings were not provided, contributing to the injury.
When you are harmed by a defective product, you may pursue a claim for damages, seek a settlement, or pursue litigation. We will explain available paths and help you choose the best option.
