San Diego Product Liability Lawyers

A San Diego product liability attorney
gives an overview about product liabilities

Product liability refers to responsibility for harm caused by a product. Defectively designed, produced, or manufactured products can cause serious injury and even death. Products liability laws state that all members of a distribution chain are responsible for a dangerous or defective product–––the designer, the manufacturer, suppliers of component parts, the wholesaler, and the retail store that sold the product.

A products liability issue does not hinge on the defendant’s care or lack of care. If the product is shown to be defective, a defendant is liable whether the manufacturer or supplier exercised appropriate care or not. If the product has a defect that causes harm, the defendant can be held liable for the harm caused.

In our more than 60 years as a plaintiffs law firm, Casey Gerry’s personal injury and product liability lawyers in San Diego have successfully handled defective products cases for hundreds of clients in San Diego and other Southern California cities. We support each case with a lead product liability attorney and a team of legal experts to ensure complete preparation of the case and thorough representation.

The plaintiff’s citizenship or immigration status is not an issue in a products liability case. Casey Gerry has represented Mexican citizens, Mexican nationals living in the US, and undocumented immigrants who have been harmed by defective products. Location of the harmful event is also not a factor. Whether the product malfunctioned in the US or in Mexico, if the harm was due to defective product design, manufacture, or defective component parts on the part of a US manufacturer, Casey Gerry's defective product attorneys in San Diego can pursue redress in US courts.
