Product liability covers injuries caused by dangerous or defective goods, with theories including manufacturing defects, design defects, and inadequate warnings.
In California, injured consumers may pursue compensation for medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering against manufacturers or distributors.
A product liability claim asserts that a product was defective and that defect caused injury. Claims may involve the product’s design, manufacturing process, or safety labeling.
Key steps include identifying defect theories, gathering product records, consulting experts, filing claims, and negotiating settlements or pursuing trial.
This glossary covers defect types and common terms you may see in a product liability case, including defect, design and manufacturing issues, and warnings.
A manufacturing defect is an error that occurs during production, causing a product to differ from its intended design and become unsafe.
A design defect means the product’s design itself is inherently dangerous, making all units defective.
A warning defect occurs when safety information or instructions fail to alert users to risks.
Under California law, a manufacturer may be held strictly liable for injuries caused by a defective product, regardless of fault.
Product liability is one option among remedies. You may also pursue consumer protection claims or other civil actions, but a dedicated product liability claim often yields stronger accountability and clearer remedies.
If the defect is clearly documented by tests or manufacturer records, a streamlined approach may resolve the matter efficiently.
Early negotiations with responsible parties can yield compensation without protracted litigation in many cases.

Case timelines vary based on the complexity, evidence, and settlements. Some matters resolve quickly through negotiation, while others proceed to trial, which may take many months or longer in California.
Fault is not always required to prevail in a product liability claim. The theory of strict liability allows recovery based on the defect itself, regardless of the manufacturer’s intent or negligence.
Bring any medical records, invoices, product packaging, purchase receipts, and notes about how the injury occurred. If you have recalls or warnings, share those as well.

If a product was recalled, we review recall notices, safety alerts, and related documents to determine whether you have a viable claim.
