If you or a family member has been injured by a defective product in Costa Mesa, you may be entitled to pursue a products liability claim under California law. Under California law, all parties that put a product into the market can be held strictly liable for injuries caused by a defective product. Blackhawk Law Group is a California personal injury law firm that has represented clients in product liability and other injury cases across Orange County and Southern California. Our experienced product liability lawyers understand the serious injuries that can result from defective products, ranging from unsafe medical devices to dangerous motor vehicles.
With more than 30 years of combined experience, our legal team has handled numerous personal injury cases involving product defects. Product liability laws vary among states, but they generally recognize three types of product defects. Whether the injury was caused by a design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn, we are here to help you seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and physical pain.
Not all law firms are the same. Product liability cases often involve some of the largest companies in the world and complex questions of liability throughout the supply chain. In a products liability case, it must be proven that the product is or was defective, regardless of the manufacturer’s intent or level of care. You need a Costa Mesa product liability lawyer who knows how to prove negligence, strict liability claims, or breach of warranty in court.
At Blackhawk Law Group, we:
Build every case as if it will go to trial. From day one, we gather evidence, consult experts, and prepare legal strategies.
Hold negligent parties accountable. If a product’s manufacturer fails to design, test, or market a product safely, they may be held liable for the plaintiff’s injury.
Provide direct attorney access. Clients work directly with our liability attorneys, not just case managers.
We work on a contingency fee basis: attorney’s fees are only due if we recover compensation for you. Clients are responsible for case-related costs and expenses regardless of outcome, as outlined in our fee agreement.

Product liability cases arise when an injured party can prove that a product defect directly caused harm. Common causes include:
Design defect: When a product is inherently dangerous even if manufactured correctly.
Manufacturing defect: When errors in the production process result in unsafe products.
Failure to warn: When a manufacturer fails to provide proper warnings about foreseeable dangers.
Defective motor vehicles: Problems in the automotive industry, including faulty brakes or airbags.
Unsafe medical devices: Such as hip implants or surgical tools that fail in a foreseeable manner.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, product-related injuries account for millions of emergency department visits every year in the UnitCosta Mesa Product Liability Statisticsed States.
In California, defective product cases are governed by strict liability, meaning a product’s manufacturer or other party in the supply chain can be held liable if the product was defective and caused harm.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that hospital emergency departments treat more than 29 million injuries annually, many caused by consumer products.
These statistics underscore the importance of working with an experienced product liability lawyer when injuries caused by product defects occur in Costa Mesa or elsewhere in Southern California.
Under California law, an injured party does not need to prove negligence to succeed in a strict liability claim. Instead, you must determine and prove that:
The product was defective (design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn).
You were injured while using the product in a foreseeable manner.
The defect was a substantial factor in causing your harm.
Victims may seek compensation for:
Lost income and reduced earning capacity.
Physical pain and emotional suffering.
Property damage caused by defective products.
Punitive damages in cases involving extreme negligence.
Our attorneys guide clients through every step of the product liability process:
Investigating the product defect and supply chain.
Working with experts to analyze the product’s manufacturer responsibilities.
Filing claims against negligent parties, including manufacturers, distributors, or retailers.
Negotiating with the insurance company for fair compensation.
Taking cases to trial when the other party refuses to accept responsibility.
Whether you were injured by defective medical devices, dangerous motor vehicles, or household products, our law offices are prepared to represent your interests and guide you through the legal process.
Accidents involving defective products rarely happen at convenient times. That is why our legal team is available around the clock to provide guidance, answer questions, and protect your rights.
