Why Choose Our Santa Ana Defective Products Attorneys?
For over 40 years, our attorneys have represented injured victims throughout Orange County and Southern California. Product liability cases are complex, often involving large corporations with deep resources and teams of defense lawyers. We know how to stand up to these powerful companies and secure results.
What is Product Liability?
Product liability law holds companies responsible when their products are unreasonably dangerous or defective. Unlike many areas of law, product liability in California is often governed by strict liability, meaning you don’t have to prove negligence, only that the product was defective and caused your injury.
Responsible parties can include:
- The manufacturer
- The wholesaler or distributor
- The retailer
- Even an advertiser that misrepresents product safety
Types of Defective Product Injuries
Defective products can cause catastrophic harm, leading to lifelong physical and emotional challenges. Our clients have suffered injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Severe burns and lacerations
- Amputations
- Fractures and broken bones
- Internal organ damage
- Disfigurement and scarring
These injuries often require extensive medical care, rehabilitation, and long-term support. Our attorneys work with medical experts and economists to ensure your claim reflects the true cost of your injury.
Who is Liable for a Defective Product?
Multiple parties may share liability in a defective product case. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to bring claims against:
- The company that designed or manufactured the product
- The supplier or distributor in the chain of commerce
- The retailer that sold you the product
- In some cases, even marketing companies that misrepresented product safety
Our job is to identify every responsible party and build the strongest case possible to maximize your recovery.
Compensation in a Product Liability Claim
If you were harmed by a defective product, you may be entitled to recover damages for:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Wrongful death damages (for families who lost a loved one)
Time is Critical in Defective Product Cases
California law imposes strict statutes of limitation on product liability claims. In many cases, you have only two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit, and evidence must be preserved quickly. Acting fast ensures your rights are protected.
