Types of defects
Design defects (the product is dangerous as designed), manufacturing defects (something went wrong making your unit), and failure to warn (the danger wasn't disclosed).
Save the product
Don't throw it away, repair it, or send it back to the company. The product itself is the most important piece of evidence.
What to do after a product liability injury
- Keep the product and its packaging exactly as they are.
- Get medical care right away — and keep every appointment. Gaps in treatment are the first thing an insurer attacks.
- Don't give a recorded statement to the other side's insurance company.
- Call Eisner Law before you sign anything or accept a quick offer.
Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
Generally two years from the date of injury (Code of Civil Procedure §335.1). If a city, county, or state agency is involved, you usually have only six months to file a government claim. Don't wait — evidence disappears fast.
How much does it cost to hire Eisner Law?
