Product liability refers to legal responsibility for injuries or damage caused by defective products that reach consumers. Liability can be based on design defects, manufacturing flaws, or inadequate instructions and warnings.
Key elements include duty of care, breach of that duty, a causal link to injuries, and resulting damages. The process typically involves evidence gathering, legal filings, discovery, negotiation, and, if needed, trial.
This glossary explains common terms used in product liability cases to help you understand the process.
A defect is a flaw or danger in a product that makes it unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.
Causation connects the defect to the injury, showing that the product’s flaw caused the harm.
A warranty is a promise regarding a product’s performance or safety, whether written or implied.

Product liability is the area of law that holds manufacturers, retailers, and others accountable for injuries caused by defective products.
Liability can be shared by manufacturers, designers, suppliers, and retailers depending on the defect and the product’s chain of distribution.
In California, you typically have two years from the injury to file a claim, but some exceptions may apply.
Damages can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, the cost of future care.
An attorney helps you navigate complex product liability law, gather evidence, and pursue maximum compensation.
Bring medical records, receipts, photos of injuries, product packaging, and any correspondence with manufacturers.
If the product is no longer available, we will analyze the recall and other evidence to pursue a claim.
Fault is determined through evidence such as product testing, expert testimony, and the product’s design and manufacturing history.
Not all cases go to trial. Many are settled or resolved through alternative dispute resolution.
Contingency fees mean you pay nothing upfront; the lawyer receives a percentage of the recovery if successful.
