Inland Empire Product Liability Lawyers
When Defective Products Cause Preventable Injuries
Consumers have the right to expect that the products they use are safe when used as intended. When manufacturers, designers, or distributors put defective products into the marketplace, the consequences can be severe. Dangerous consumer goods, vehicles, medical devices, and industrial equipment can cause serious injuries, permanent harm, or even death.
At McCune Law Group (MLG), we represent individuals and families harmed by defective products throughout the Inland Empire. Our attorneys work to hold corporations accountable for unsafe products and pursue compensation that helps victims recover physically, financially, and emotionally.
What Is Product Liability in the Inland Empire?
Product liability law allows injured consumers to seek compensation when a product is defectively designed, improperly manufactured, or sold without adequate warnings or instructions. Under California law, manufacturers and others in the supply chain can be held strictly liable — meaning an injured person may not need to prove negligence, only that the product was defective and caused harm.
Product liability cases in the Inland Empire often involve large corporations with significant legal resources. These cases require careful investigation, expert analysis, and experienced advocacy to uncover defects and connect them to the injuries suffered.
Common Types of Product Defects We See
- Design defects that make a product inherently unsafe
- Manufacturing defects caused by errors during production
- Failure to warn of known risks or proper use
- Defective auto parts and vehicle components
- Dangerous medical devices or pharmaceuticals
- Faulty tools, machinery, or industrial equipment
- Unsafe children’s products or household goods
Manufacturers and insurers frequently deny responsibility or blame misuse. A product liability lawyer from MLG can investigate the defect and protect your claim.

Ask an Inland Empire Product Liability Attorney – FAQ
What should I do if I am injured by a defective product?
“Seek medical attention and preserve the product if possible. Avoid altering it and consult a lawyer before contacting the manufacturer.” – Cory R. Weck, Practice Area Leader at McCune Law Group

Not always. Many product liability claims are based on strict liability, which focuses on the defect rather than fault.
Do product liability cases go to court?
Some resolve through settlement, but many require litigation due to disputed defects and high damages.
What compensation may be available?
Compensation depends on medical costs, lost income, injury severity, and long-term impact. Our attorneys can evaluate your claim.
