Claim it before someone else doesDefective products don't announce themselves — a faulty ladder, a malfunctioning appliance, a car part that fails near the I-80/SR-4 interchange, or medicine with an inadequate warning label can all cause serious harm. Hercules residents who are hurt this way sometimes assume they need to prove the manufacturer was careless, but California generally applies strict liability to these cases. That means the focus is on whether the product itself was defective in design, manufacture, or warning, and whether that defect caused the injury. Companies up and down the supply chain — makers, distributors, and sellers — may share responsibility. Because Contra Costa County sees its share of injury collisions tied to vehicle parts and equipment failures, product defects sometimes overlap with crash cases too. We handle product liability claims and can evaluate what happened, help preserve the product as evidence, and explain the options available under California law.
Because California often applies strict liability to defective products, the case can center on the product's condition rather than requiring proof the manufacturer was negligent.
Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can all potentially be held liable, which may open more than one avenue for pursuing a claim.
