Types of Injury Claims Our California Defective Product Attorneys Handle

All of use countless products every day, from the moment we wake up in the morning to the moment we fall asleep at night. While most of these products are thoroughly tested for consumer safety, extremely dangerous products can still reach the market when manufacturers make errors, rush production, or intentionally ignore safety regulations. When corporations cut corners to maximize their profits, innocent consumers are left to pay the price.

Many of the products we think of as being harmless, or even beneficial to our health, can cause serious injuries, illnesses, or wrongful death if they suffer from hidden defects. Types of product liability claims our attorneys handle in Ventura County and Santa Barbara County include:

Product liability claims generally deal with one of three issues:

Manufacturing Defects – A manufacturing defect is a defect that develops due to an error that occurred during the manufacturing process. These types of errors can cause products to have cracks, tears, weak spots, sharp edges, contamination, fire hazards, choking hazards, and other defects that make their use dangerous.
Design Defects – Design defects are fundamental defects that make a product inherently dangerous, even if it is skillfully manufactured and assembled. The 15-passenger van is an example of a design defect. Even though there is nothing physically wrong with these vans, their very design can make them susceptible to rollover accidents and tire blowouts.
Failures to Warn – Some products have hazards that cannot be eliminated. Such products must feature clear, prominent, and accurate warnings about the dangers that can occur. Failure to include proper warnings and instructions can lead to fatal accidents.
