Product liability law covers cases where a defective product causes injury. You do not need to prove how the defect occurred; you must show that the product was defective, the defect caused your injury, and you were using the product as intended.
In California, manufacturers have a responsibility to design safe products, test them, and provide adequate warnings. When those duties are breached, injured consumers may seek compensation from manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
Product liability is a legal area that holds manufacturers and others in the supply chain accountable for injuries caused by defective products. It covers design defects, manufacturing flaws, and failure to warn about risks.
Proving a product liability claim typically involves identifying the defect, linking it to the injury, and showing the product was used as intended. Attorneys gather records, consult experts, and negotiate or litigate to secure fair compensation.
This glossary explains common terms you may encounter as your case moves forward, helping you understand the legal options and processes involved.
Strict liability means a manufacturer can be held responsible for injuries caused by a defect regardless of fault or intent, when the product reaches the consumer in a defective condition.
Negligence in product liability refers to failure to exercise reasonable care in designing, testing, labeling, or supervising a product’s use, contributing to injury.
A manufacturing defect occurs when an otherwise safe design is poorly produced, resulting in a dangerous product that injures a consumer.
Failure to warn means a product lacks adequate instructions or warnings about risks, which can make even a safe design dangerous in real-world use.
Different paths exist to seek compensation after a product injury. A dedicated attorney can help evaluate potential claims, settlements, and lawsuits tailored to your situation.
