Product Liability

Agoura Hills Product Liability Attorney

Were You Harmed by a Dangerous or Defective Product?

You don’t expect to suffer injuries when using a coffee maker, taking medications to treat an illness, or using equipment in your office. Unfortunately, every year thousands of people suffer injuries because of defective products that are manufactured by companies that simply did not put enough care into safety.

If you were injured by the use of a defective product, you may be eligible for a claim for compensation. Call a product liability attorney at Effres & Effres to discuss your legal options for compensation in Southern California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Ventura, and all surrounding counties.

Types of Product Defects

Defective products can include everything from defective medical devices, dangerous pharmaceutical drugs, unsafe children’s toys, defective industrial tools and equipment, and auto part defects.

Most defective product claims are based on the following factors:

  • Design defect – A product may be designed improperly, which increases the risk of injury to a consumer.
  • Manufacturing defect – Here, the design may be perfectly safe, but particular batches of products may have been manufactured with a defect that makes them unsafe to use.
  • Marketing defect – When a company sells a product for a use for which it is not suitable, or fails to provide adequate warnings with the product, consumers are at risk of injury. An example would be a pharmaceutical company promoting the use of a drug for uses for which it is not approved by the Food And Drug Administration.

Parties You Can Name in a Product Liability Claim

In a typical product liability claim, a number of parties may be held liable in the claim.

These include the:

  • Manufacturer
  • Distributor
  • Retailer
  • Seller

All these parties can be held liable for the injuries that you received as a result of using the defective product.

    Our Clients' Success Stories

    • "So pleased to win the case, through your legal expertise."
      Dear Mr. Effres, Please allow us to make your acquaintance. We are writing at the urging of Mr. Gusa, who shared with us the lovely history behind our receiving a beautiful six-passenger golf cart. As you know, he is a fine man and he was so pleased to win the case, through your legal expertise, so as to provide us with this unexpected gift. We would never have conceived of having such a large golf cart. Now that we have it, we are discovering how very valuable it is for being able to take a group of our distinguished guests all together on a tour around the monastery grounds. Perhaps one day circumstances will be such that you find yourself in Arizona. If so, we would be pleased to invite you on a tour of the monastery! With best regards by X. N.

    • "I really feel like it's his reputation as a trial lawyer that got us the deal."
      Two attorney firms dropped us before the 2 year deadline and we were panicking. My husband was badly hurt when a truck backed into him as he was walking by. Justin took us in and we really felt like we had someone on our side. I really feel like it's his reputation as a trial lawyer that got us the deal. I would absolutely recommend him!

    • "We will recommend you and your firm without reservation."
      Dear Steve, With our case now settled, we wanted to reach out to thank you, Justin and the entire team for your representation of our daughter. It was clear to us that your professionalism, expertise and advocacy of our family’s interests made the entire process run smoothly. We specifically appreciate how well you interacted with our daughter. After we hung up with you on speaker phone leaving the courthouse that last day she said “I like him” in a very childlike, affectionate tone. We also wanted you to know that our decision to settle did not come easily. In the end, we believe the decision was in our daughter’s best interest. We know you worked hard to prepare a strong case and do regret not having the opportunity to see that through. Lastly, on a personal note, we wanted to compliment you on Justin. He is a truly impressive young man; intelligent, polite and very good natured. Just a couple of comments Steve made in the days leading up to our daughter’s trial as we got to know Justin better. To our daughter; “You can tell a lot about a man by seeing how his children behave; Mr. Effres seems like a really good man.” To S: “If you have a son, he (Justin) is what you want him to be like; if you have a daughter, he’s the kind of guy you’d like her to end up with.” Anyway, I’m sure you don’t need to hear it from us, but you and your wife must be very proud of your sons. I hope this doesn’t sound hollow, because it is most definitely not, but please keep in touch and let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you. If we ever come across a friend who is in need of representation, we will recommend you and your firm without reservation. Thanks again and best wishes by S, S, and M
