Product Liability in San Diego
Have you recently experienced harm as a result of a defective product? At Joseph C. Crudo PLC, we help you obtain adequate compensation. Companies that design, manufacture, and sell products have a responsibility to their consumers to ensure those products are safe.
Product liability serves consumers who bring claims against manufacturers and sellers for products that, when used, resulted in harm, injury, or death. A product liability attorney aims to compel the responsible company to provide sufficient compensation to the injured consumer.
California product liability law holds the person who designs, manufactures, or sells a defective product strictly liable for injuries sustained by consumers using it, covering design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure-to-warn defects.
