How Can a San Diego Product Liability Lawyer Help You?

San Diego product liability lawyers at Vaage Law have successfully represented clients against manufacturers and distributors for more than 35 years. With over $150 million recovered for everyday individuals and families, we can help make sure you are fully compensated for your personal injury claims.

Designers, makers, and sellers of consumer goods or medical products owe you a duty of care. That means they are obligated to produce safe and accurately labeled products for sale. If you or the doctors treating you were sold an unsafe product, a personal injury attorney can help investigate the cause of the defect, and pursue the person, company, or business responsible.

At Vaage Law, our San Diego product liability firm has represented workers, patients, and families harmed by defective products. We have an established network of experts who can testify about your injuries, calculate your future care needs, and fully investigate your case to identify all liable parties. We have a track record of proven negotiation and trial skills that can maximize your compensation.

For your free legal consultation, contact our California offices online or by calling (619) 338-0505. One phone call may confirm your case’s viability, relieve your worries, and secure representation for you right away.

What Kind of Settlement Can a San Diego Product Liability Attorney Help You Secure?

A settlement or verdict in a product liability lawsuit could include coverage for:

• Medical bills related to any emergency or ongoing care, from an allergic reaction to contaminated medication, to revision surgeries and physical rehabilitation to remove a defective medical implant device
• Job-related losses such as lost wages and benefits, reduced wages, lost employment, or an inability to work going forward
• Pain and suffering damages related to physical pain, emotional turmoil, or marital and family strife caused by the stress surrounding your injury
• Punitive damages, also known as “punishment” damages, which may be ordered in cases where a company or individual acts extremely appallingly — such as knowing of a defect but allowing it to persist in the pursuit of profit over consumer safety
• Wrongful death damages when the injury causes by a defective product leads to a loss of life  

Your settlement or verdict in a San Diego product liability case will reflect your specific losses and needs. It is key to enter these legal proceedings with experienced representation. Your lawyer’s diligence in building your case, and their skill at negotiating for your best interests, are the keys to a successful outcome with tangible results.
