Defective Products
Products liability cases are an area that seek damages for injuries caused by dangerous and defective products.
Our office represents injured people in San Diego County, Southern California, and throughout the State of California against corporations, manufacturers, and retailers who have sold or manufactured unsafe products for profit.
“Products”, legally speaking, include a wide range of categories, including:
- Machinery
- Tools
- Medicine and drugs
- Medical devices
- Toxic chemicals and substances, such as asbestos and mold
- Motor vehicles
- Motor vehicle parts, such as tires and brakes
- Household products and appliances
- Toys and recreational equipment
- Clothing
Generally, lawsuits include claims for negligent manufacture or distribution of a dangerous product, strict liability if the product has a defect in its design or manufacture, or breach of warranty. In addition, if the manufacturer knew of the dangerous product and did not warn or protect their customers, it may be subject to punitive damages.
All product liability cases require expert testimony. It is crucial that the product be preserved in the exact condition so that experts might examine the product themselves and the product be produced for trial. If you are injured by a defective product, we can help find the appropriate expert for you.
