The basis for the three common types of product liability claims are defects in a product’s design, manufacturing, or marketing. These defects can lead to legal action that holds manufacturers, distributors, or retailers accountable for harm caused by their products. A design defect exists when a product is inherently dangerous due to a flaw in its overall design, even when manufactured correctly.
A manufacturing defect occurs during the production or assembly of a product, making a particular item or batch dangerous despite a safe design. A marketing defect, or failure-to-warn claim, involves products that are fundamentally safe but dangerous without proper instructions or warnings about potential risks.
California’s strict product liability doctrine holds distributors, manufacturers, and sellers liable for injuries caused by a defective product, regardless of whether the parties were negligent. To establish a strict liability claim, you must prove that the product was defective when it left the defendant’s control. Evidence must also show that you used the product in a reasonably foreseeable manner and that the defect caused your injuries.
Our product liability attorney in Ventura can thoroughly investigate the incident to determine the cause of the defect and identify all potentially liable parties. We will ensure all legal requirements are met and all documents are filed correctly and on time. In California, the statute of limitations for a product liability claim is typically two years from the date your injury happened or the date you discovered the injury.
