One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesA product that fails during normal use shouldn't be a cost you absorb alone. In Oakland, that might mean a space heater in an Oakland apartment that overheats, a power tool bought along International Boulevard that loses its guard, a child's car seat that comes loose, or a tire that separates on I-880 during the Friday evening rush. Under strict liability, you generally do not have to prove the manufacturer was careless. You need to show the product had a defect, whether in its design, in how that particular unit was made, or in the warnings that came with it, and that the defect caused your injury. Everyone in the chain of sale may share responsibility, from the company that built it to the Alameda County store that sold it. LawProactive is a free service, not a law firm. We connect Oakland residents with an independent attorney who handles product cases on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
California generally lets an injured person recover by proving the product was defective and caused harm, without proving the maker was negligent. The attorney we connect you with can explain which defect theory fits your situation.
Manufacturers, distributors, and the Oakland retailer that sold the item may all be responsible. That matters when the maker is overseas or hard to reach.
We also connect clients with attorneys specializing in these practice areas
