San Jose product liability cases can stem from a wide full range of issues, including:
Design defects – Problems with the intended design of a product that make it inherently dangerous, even when manufactured properly.
Manufacturing defects – Errors in the manufacturing process that cause products to deviate from their intended design.
Marketing defects – Inadequate labeling, lack of adequate warning, or failure to disclose potential safety hazards and potential risks.
Defective product design – Flaws that fail to protect consumers from foreseeable harm.
Defective medical devices – Such as knee replacements, implants, or equipment that fail during intended use.
Auto parts failures – Tires, brakes, or airbags that cause accidents and leave victims severely injured.
These are among the most common product liability claims our attorneys see in the San Jose product community.
Product safety remains a serious and growing concern nationwide, and these numbers highlight the risks defective products can pose:
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that about 48,900 product-related deaths occur annually in the United States.
In 2024, there were nearly 15.07 million consumer product injuries treated in emergency departments, according to the National Safety Council’s Injury Facts.
The California Department of Public Health’s EpiCenter tool confirms that injuries leading to death, hospitalization, or emergency visits remain a major public health issue across the state, underscoring the importance of monitoring potential safety hazards and defective goods.
Under California law, product manufacturers, distributors, and sellers can be held liable for injuries caused by defective products, even if negligence is not proven. This principle, known as strict liability, means victims do not need to show intent, only that the product was defective and caused harm.
If you’ve been injured, you may be entitled to seek compensation for:
Medical bills and ongoing medical expenses
Lost wages due to missed work
Physical injuries and pain and suffering
Long-term disability or wrongful death in severe cases
