Injured by a Defective Product in California? Know Your Rights
May 7, 2025
JD Law Group
Every day, consumers trust that the products they buy—from vehicles and electronics to household appliances and medical devices—are safe. But when companies cut corners in design, manufacturing, or warnings, those products can cause serious injuries or even death.

Common product liability cases in California involve:
- Defective auto parts (brakes, airbags, seatbelts)
- Dangerous prescription drugs or medical devices
- Electronics that overheat or cause burns
- Power tools and equipment with missing safety features
- Children’s products with choking or poisoning risks
When a product fails and causes harm, you have the right to hold the responsible parties accountable—including manufacturers, retailers, and distributors.
Your Legal Protections Under California Product Liability Law
Victims of defective products have strong rights under California law, including:
- The right to seek compensation for physical and financial harm
- The right to hold companies strictly liable—without proving negligence
- The right to file a claim even if the product was used as intended
- The right to pursue legal action against multiple liable parties
- The right to a fair trial and access to internal corporate records
At JD Law Group, we make sure corporations and insurers respect your rights—and we fight for justice when their products cause harm.
Why Early Legal Action Matters in Product Injury Cases
Time is critical after a product-related injury. Early legal involvement helps:
- Preserve the defective product as key evidence
- Document your injuries through medical evaluations
- Identify all parties in the product’s supply chain
- Prevent spoliation of important design or testing records
- Protect you from early lowball settlement offers
Our attorneys work quickly to investigate, gather expert testimony, and build a strong liability case while you focus on healing.

What Compensation Can Look Like in Product Liability Cases
With skilled legal representation, your case may result in:
- Full coverage for past and future medical bills
- Lost wages and diminished earning potential
- Compensation for pain, disability, and emotional trauma
