Defective product law covers injuries caused by a product that was unreasonably dangerous or improperly designed, manufactured, or labeled.
In California, you may pursue claims under product liability, negligence, warranty, or consumer protection theories, depending on the facts of your case.
A defective product injury occurs when a product with a design, manufacturing, marketing, or labeling defect causes harm. A claim may seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
To pursue a successful defective product claim, you typically establish duty, breach, causation, and damages, followed by investigation, evidence collection, and negotiation or trial.
Glossary terms provide quick definitions for common concepts like product liability, recall, and damages that appear in these cases.

California follows principles of strict liability in many cases, meaning manufacturers can be responsible even without proof of fault. It’s important to discuss your case with a local attorney who understands California laws.
Answer: Proof typically includes medical records, product history, recalls, expert analysis, and expert testimony demonstrating the defect caused your injuries.
Answer: You may seek medical expenses, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, and noneconomic damages like pain and suffering, depending on the case.
Answer: While you may start collecting information on your own, having an attorney helps navigate California laws and deadlines for defective product claims.
