Product Liability
When defective products cause injuries, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers must be held accountable. Our product liability lawyers represent individuals and families harmed by dangerous consumer products, defective medical devices, faulty automotive parts, toxic substances, and unsafe machinery.
Types of product defects we handle:
Design Defects: Products that are inherently dangerous due to flawed design, making all units unsafe regardless of manufacturing quality.
Manufacturing Defects: Products that deviate from intended design during production, creating dangerous variations.
Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn): Products lacking adequate warnings, instructions, or safety labels about known risks and proper use.
Our product liability attorneys have successfully represented clients injured by defective pharmaceuticals, recalled medical devices, faulty vehicle components, dangerous children's products, toxic consumer goods, defective power tools and equipment, unsafe household appliances, and contaminated food products.
California's strict liability standard means you don't have to prove negligence—only that the product was defective and caused your injury while being used as intended. This legal framework protects consumers and ensures manufacturers prioritize safety.
We investigate product recalls, analyze FDA warnings, review safety testing data, consult with engineering experts, and examine similar incidents nationwide. Our attorneys work with medical experts, product engineers, toxicologists, and accident reconstruction specialists to establish causation and liability.
Recoverable damages include: Medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income and earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent disability compensation, and punitive damages when manufacturers knowingly sold dangerous products.
Product liability cases often involve complex litigation against large corporations with substantial legal resources. Our firm has the experience, resources, and determination to take on major manufacturers and achieve meaningful results for our clients.
Mass tort and class action experience: When defective products harm multiple people, we handle both individual claims and participate in coordinated litigation efforts, including class actions and multidistrict litigation (MDL).
Time is critical in product liability cases. Evidence must be preserved, including the defective product itself, packaging, receipts, and medical records. Statute of limitations deadlines vary depending on when the injury was discovered.
Free consultation with no obligation. We work on contingency—no fees unless we recover compensation for you.
