Personal Injury Attorney in South Pasadena, CA
When a product you trusted turns out to be dangerous, the company that made or sold it should answer for the harm, not you. These cases are complex and hard-fought, and I have the resources and persistence to see them through.
Product injury cases generally fall into three types, and identifying which one applies shapes the entire case:
California applies strict liability to defective products, which means you often don't have to prove the company was careless, only that the product was defective and that the defect caused your injury while you were using it as intended. That is a powerful advantage over an ordinary negligence case, and I know how to use it.
Responsibility can extend along the whole chain of distribution, from the manufacturer to the distributor to the retailer that sold it. I identify every party that put the dangerous product in your hands.
These cases turn on evidence and expert analysis. I preserve the product itself, work with engineers and safety experts, and build the technical proof needed to show exactly how and why it failed. Manufacturers defend these claims aggressively with large legal teams, and I prepare thoroughly to match them.
California generally gives you two years from the date of injury to file a product liability lawsuit. It is critical not to throw away or repair the product, because it is often the single most important piece of evidence. Contact me early so it can be preserved and examined.
California law lets you recover economic damages, your concrete financial losses, and non-economic damages, the human costs that are harder to measure. I make sure every category that applies to your case is counted.
