When a product hurts you, you should not have to fight a big company alone.
Our Chico legal team helps people across Northern California hold manufacturers and sellers accountable.
If a defective product hurts you in Chico or anywhere in Northern California, your life can feel upside down. A car part fails, a power tool breaks, or a household item catches fire, and you are the one left with the bills and pain. Product liability law exists to hold manufacturers or sellers responsible when their products harm people during normal or reasonably expected use. Defective products that you have bought, know that you do have rights, and we will help you with them.
What Is a Defective Product Claim in California?
A defective product claim is a lawsuit against a company that designed, manufactured, or sold a product that proved unsafe. The product may be dangerous due to poor design, manufacturing errors, or missing warnings or instructions. If that defect causes an injury, you may be able to recover money for medical bills, lost income, and pain.

A product may be defective if it was designed in an unsafe way, built with a problem that made it dangerous, or sold without proper warnings or instructions. When that defect leads to an injury, you may have a claim.
In many California personal injury cases, you may have around two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. Some cases have shorter or longer time limits, so it is smart to talk with a lawyer as soon as you can.
You may still have a case even if you were partly at fault. In many situations, your compensation may be reduced by your share of fault, but you are not blocked from bringing a claim.
If you can, bring the product itself, any packaging or manuals, the receipt, photos, and medical records. Bring any letters or emails you received from an insurance company or the manufacturer. If you do not have everything, still come in. We can help you track down what is missing.
In a successful defective product case, people often recover money for medical bills, future medical care, lost wages, loss of earning power, and pain. Typical personal injury settlements can range from a few thousand dollars to many hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in very serious cases, but no lawyer can promise a certain amount. Every case is different.
