What Is Product Liability? 

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers and sellers for producing or distributing defective or dangerous products that cause harm to consumers. Under California law, companies have a duty to ensure they produce a safe product. When a consumer product is defective and results in injury, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer can be held liable for damages. 

Product liability cases can arise from a range of factors, such as:  

  1. Design Defects: When a product’s design is inherently flawed, making it dangerous even when used as intended. 
  2. Manufacturing Defects: These occur during the production process, resulting in a faulty or dangerous product that differs from its intended design. 
  3. Failure to Warn: If a product lacks appropriate warnings or instructions, manufacturers may be liable if consumers are injured due to inadequate information.
  4. Misleading Marketing: If a product is marketed in a way that misrepresents its capabilities or intended use, leading to injuries, the parties responsible can be held liable.
  5. Breach of Warranty: When a product fails to meet the promises made in its warranty, it causes harm to consumers.  

If you believe you have been injured due to a defect in a product, it may be in your best interests to involve a product liability lawyer in Irvine, CA who can investigate the situation, collect relevant evidence regarding your injuries, and begin the process of recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I am injured by a defective product?

If you are injured by a defective consumer product, your first step should be to seek medical attention. After addressing your health, preserve the product, its packaging, and any related receipts. Document your injuries and gather any evidence that supports your claim. Avoid speaking with the manufacturer or their insurance company without legal representation. Contact a product liability attorney as soon as possible to discuss your case and explore your legal options.

In California, the statute of limitations for product liability cases is generally two years from the date of injury. However, if the injury was not immediately apparent, the deadline may be extended to one year from the date the injury was discovered. It is crucial to act quickly to ensure you do not lose your right to file a claim. Consulting an experienced attorney can help you determine the specific timeline for your case.

No, product liability cases in California are often based on strict liability, meaning you do not have to prove negligence. If you can show that a product was defective and that the defect caused your injury, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be held responsible. In some cases, however, proving negligence or breach of warranty may also strengthen your claim.

If you win a product liability case, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. In cases involving extreme negligence, punitive damages may also be awarded. An attorney can help evaluate your case and determine the full extent of compensation you may be eligible to receive.
