A design defect exists when the product design makes it unreasonably dangerous, even when manufactured correctly.
A manufacturing defect occurs during production, causing a product to deviate from its intended design and function.

In many California cases, manufacturers can be liable for injuries caused by defective products without proving the seller’s negligence.

Product liability describes the legal responsibility of manufacturers, designers, distributors, and retailers for injuries caused by defective products. If you were harmed, you may recover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages through a civil claim or settlement.
Who can be held responsible includes manufacturers, component suppliers, retailers, and distributors. Even third parties in the supply chain can be liable if they contributed to the defect or failure to warn.
In California, most personal injury claims have a statute of limitations, typically two years from the injury date, with exceptions. Prompt filing is important; consult with an attorney to evaluate deadlines and tolling options.
Collect medical records, purchase receipts, product packaging, recalls, and witness reports. Keep notes about when the injury happened and how the product was used.
An attorney can help determine liability, collect evidence, and negotiate with insurers. They also help calculate damages and avoid costly mistakes that could weaken your claim.
Medical bills, lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering are possible. The amount depends on injury severity, circumstances, and the strength of the case.
Liability is proven by showing the product was defective, the defect caused your injury, and the defect occurred through the products distribution chain. Evidence can include design documents, testing, recalls, and medical records.
Recalls can indicate a broader defect and help support liability. Even if a recall occurs after injury, you may still have a claim if the recall did not adequately address the risk.
Many product liability cases settle without going to trial, but some do go to court. We prepare thoroughly to pursue favorable results whether through settlement or trial.
