One attorney. One city. Unlimited potential
Claim it before someone else doesA product does not have to be exotic to cause real harm. In a city of more than a million people, San Jose households rely every day on power tools, space heaters, e-bike batteries, car seats, medications, and appliances, and most of them work exactly as promised. Occasionally one does not. Under California law, a person injured by a defective product usually proceeds under strict liability. That means the question is whether the item had a design flaw, a manufacturing flaw, or an inadequate warning, and whether that flaw caused the injury. Whether the company was careless is generally beside the point. Responsibility can also reach beyond the manufacturer to the distributor and the store that sold it. What matters most in the early days is holding on to the product itself, along with packaging, receipts, and photos of the scene. LawProactive is not a law firm. We are a free service that connects injured San Jose residents with an independent attorney who works on contingency, so there is no fee unless there is a recovery.
An attorney familiar with California's strict liability rules focuses on proving the defect and the link to your injury, rather than getting drawn into arguments about whether the company meant well.
The product, its packaging, and its purchase records are often the heart of the case. A lawyer can arrange proper storage and testing so nothing is discarded or altered before it can be examined.

*No attorney's fee unless there is a recovery. The client may be responsible for court costs and case expenses.
Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers may each be responsible under California law. An attorney can identify every party in that chain, including out-of-state or overseas companies, so the claim is not aimed at the wrong door.
