Understanding Product Liability Claims
When you’re injured by a defective product, the law says manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held responsible. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held strictly liable for injuries caused by defective products, meaning you don’t have to prove negligence, only that the product was defective and caused your injuries.
These cases often require expert testimony from engineers, product safety specialists, and industry experts. See our case results and resources to investigate the defect, identify all liable parties in the supply chain, and build a strong case to recover full compensation for victims and their families.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of defective home products cause injuries in rental properties?
Common defective products in rental properties include faulty smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas appliances, water heaters, electrical panels, space heaters, and HVAC systems. When these products fail due to design or manufacturing defects, both the manufacturer and the landlord may be liable.
Who can be held liable for a defective product injury in a rental home?
Potentially liable parties include the product manufacturer, distributor, retailer, and the landlord who installed or maintained the defective product. California product liability law allows injured victims to pursue all parties in the chain of distribution.
What is the difference between a product liability claim and a premises liability claim?
A product liability claim targets the manufacturer or seller of a defective product, while a premises liability claim targets the property owner for failing to maintain safe conditions. In many unsafe home injury cases, both types of claims apply simultaneously.
How long do I have to file a defective product injury claim in California?
Generally two years from the date of injury for personal injury claims. For product liability claims, the discovery rule may extend this period if you did not immediately know the product was defective. Contact an attorney promptly to preserve your rights.
