Damages in a product liability case can include medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. In some situations, you may also recover future care needs and related losses.
Liability may involve manufacturers, distributors, retailers, or others in the supply chain, depending on control and responsibility for the defect.
California generally imposes a statute of limitations on product liability claims, typically two years from discovery, with variations by case. A lawyer can confirm timelines for your situation.
You can file a claim without a lawyer, but a qualified attorney helps prove defect theories, negotiate settlements, and protect your rights throughout the process.
Bring medical records, injury documentation, product details, purchase receipts, and any recalls or safety notices related to the item.
Liability is based on defect type (design, manufacturing, or labeling) and evidence from tests, expert analysis, recalls, and warnings.
Some costs may be paid from a settlement or verdict. Many firms work on contingency, so you may not pay up front.
Most product liability cases settle, but some proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
A recall does not automatically end liability. You may still have a claim if harm occurred because of a recalled product.
Case duration varies with complexity, evidence, and court schedules; many cases resolve within months, while others take longer.
