Representing People Injured by Dangerous and Defective Products in California
Defectively designed and manufactured products injure, kill and maim many thousands of people each year. The type of products that can be involved in defective products lawsuits range from small items such as hand saws to large pieces of manufacturing equipment and automobiles. In addition, defective prescription drugs and food products that cause adverse reactions and poisoning can lead to injury, or even death. Even mass-produced housing can be defective and cause injury to others. Responsible parties can be both the designer and manufacturer of the product, as well as each distributor and retailer.

If a dangerous or defective product has injured you or someone you care about, contact the law firm through this Web site or by phone.
Headquartered in central California, we can represent clients throughout the state who have been injured by many different types of products:
- Defective vehicle parts: Many car accidents are caused or made worse by tire blowouts, defective seatbelts, brakes, airbags, or roofs that are not designed to withstand the pressure of a rollover accident. If someone you care about has been injured or killed in a car or SUV accident, it is a good idea to talk with an attorney about the possibility of a products liability lawsuit.
- Dangerous and defective machinery: Dangerous and defective machinery is responsible for many accidents in industrial settings, workplaces and residential settings. From machinery that has been designed without proper protection or guards that fail upon use, to incomplete product warnings, products liability lawsuits can help hold defendants accountable. We can file lawsuits related to many types of dangerous machinery including stand-up forklifts, trenchers and augurs.
- Defective medical equipment: People depend on medical equipment for their lives and their health. When it fails, the effects can be devastating. The lawyers at Miller Law, Inc. can hold medical equipment engineers, designers, manufacturers and distributors accountable for the harm caused.
In a product liability case, a defendant can be held responsible for injuries if "the product did not perform as an ordinary consumer would expect." Damages can include past and future medical expenses, past and future wage loss and past and future pain and suffering.
