Understanding Product Liability Law in Los Angeles
California has some of the strongest consumer protection laws in the country. Product liability laws hold manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible for placing defective or unreasonably dangerous products into the hands of consumers. In Los Angeles, these claims typically fall into three key categories:
- Design Defects – When a product is inherently unsafe due to flaws in its design, making it dangerous even when used correctly.
- Manufacturing Defects – When a product becomes dangerous due to errors in the manufacturing process, affecting specific units or batches.
- Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn) – When a company fails to provide proper warnings or instructions, leading to preventable injuries.
Unlike other personal injury claims, California law follows a strict liability standard for product liability cases. This means you do not have to prove negligence—only that the defective product caused your injury.
How a Los Angeles Product Liability Lawyer Can Help You
A Los Angeles product liability attorney is your advocate in holding powerful corporations accountable. At Greenberg and Ruby Injury Attorneys, we provide aggressive legal representation to injured consumers across Los Angeles.
1. Free Case Evaluation
Every case begins with a comprehensive review of the injury and product defect. During your free consultation, we will analyze the details of your case, identify liable parties, and determine the best legal strategy.
2. Gathering Critical Evidence
Winning a product liability lawsuit requires strong evidence. Our legal team thoroughly investigates:
- Product testing results and safety reports
- Expert testimony from engineers and safety specialists
- Medical records linking injuries to the defective product
- Witness statements from other consumers with similar experiences
3. Negotiating with Insurance Companies and Corporations
Insurance companies and large manufacturers will try to minimize or deny your claim. Our attorneys handle all negotiations, ensuring you receive fair compensation without being pressured into a lowball settlement.
4. Taking Your Case to Trial
If negotiations fail, we are fully prepared to take your case to court. As a CAALA Trial Academy graduate, Emily Ruby is a highly skilled trial attorney who is not afraid to fight for your rights in front of a jury.
Time is Limited: Act Quickly on Your Product Liability Claim
Under California's statute of limitations (CCP 335.1), you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a product liability lawsuit. Delaying action could mean losing your right to compensation. It is crucial to consult a Los Angeles product liability lawyer as soon as possible to protect your claim.
What Compensation Can You Recover in a Product Liability Case?
Victims of defective products may be entitled to significant compensation, including:
✅ Medical Expenses – Current and future medical bills related to your injury
✅ Lost Wages & Earning Capacity – Compensation for time missed at work or reduced ability to earn income
✅ Pain and Suffering – Physical and emotional distress caused by the injury
✅ Property Damage – Compensation for damaged personal property
✅ Punitive Damages – Additional compensation in cases of extreme negligence or corporate misconduct
Each case is unique, and the final settlement amount depends on the severity of your injuries and the impact on your life.
