Sacramento Products Liability Lawyer

Despite consumer protection laws, thousands of defective products on the market continue to put consumers in significant danger each year. Some manufacturing companies are just not as careful as they should be when bringing products into your home. 

If you have sustained serious injuries or a loved one was killed due to a defective product, you may be entitled to pursue compensation for your damages and losses. Reach out to our experienced Sacramento products liability lawyers today at (916) 921-6400 for a free consultation to discuss your legal options.

Products liability focuses on dangerous and defective products. Our law firm represents individuals and families in legal issues against manufacturers or corporations who have sold dangerous products to consumers.

As consumers, we depend on companies to make safe products for us to use. We imagine these products to be designed appropriately before they hit the store shelves. However, that's not usually the case. When companies profit over safety and a loved one is seriously injured or killed, an experienced Sacramento products liability lawyer can help you obtain justice and fair compensation for your loss.

We refer to "products" in describing what causes the injury, but it really covers a wide range of categories, including:

• Machinery and tools
• Medicine and drugs, e.g., Ortho Evra, Vioxx, and other prescription and non-prescription drugs
• Medical devices
• Food and tobacco
• Toxic chemicals and substances, such as pesticides, asbestos, and mold
• Firearms
• Autos and other motor vehicles, including trucks and motorcycles
• Auto products such as seat belts, tires, airbags, and child car seats
• Household appliances and products
• Toys, recreational equipment, and ATV's
• Clothing and apparel

Multiple parties could all be held liable for a defective product that harms a consumer. California determines most product liability cases as a "Strict Liability" rule, which means any entities involved in putting the harmful product on the market can be responsible. 

The parties that may potentially be held liable for a defective or dangerous product includes the following:

• Distributor
• Hospital, medical clinic, or doctor
• Independent testing lab
• Manufacturer 
• Retailer
• Sales representative
• Supplier

When a product fails, the injured person and their families are faced with life-changing consequences. Long-term medical care costs, loss of income, and pain and suffering can all happen.

Consumers are injured by a defective product every year. These injuries include burns, broken bones, suffocation, disfigurements, and concussions. Recovering from these types of damages could take months or years.

Many people dismiss injuries from defective products as a way of life. However, as a consumer, you don't deserve to be injured by a defective product. If you or a loved one were hurt while using a defective product, call one of our products liability attorneys in Sacramento County, CA, to help you file a claim for financial compensation.
