Sacramento Product Liability Attorneys

Eason and Tambornini’s expert Sacramento product liability attorneys have handled countless cases. If you have been injured by a defective product or inadequate warning label or instructions, we can help.

Defective products pose many hazards to consumers and those in their vicinity during use or operation. Designers, manufacturers, and distributors can be liable for injuries if products lack sufficient instructions or warnings about potential dangers. Understanding these risks is crucial.

As your product liability attorney will explain, incorrectly manufactured and poorly designed products cause thousands of injuries and deaths in the United States every year. A defective product can be anything from a small power tool like a drill to a vehicle or agricultural equipment. Products with toxic chemicals that cause allergic reactions leading to health problems, injury, or other illnesses may also be considered a product liability.

We are proud members of the Sacramento County Bar Association, Capitol City Trial Lawyers Association (CCTLA), and the State Bar of California.

If a defective product has caused you harm and you need legal advice, please get in touch with Eason & Tambornini at (916) 438-1819. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation and guarantee complete confidentiality. If we take on your case, you will only be charged if we secure a win, ensuring you’re free.

I had a workers compensation attorney representing me for 15 years that was completely dragging his feet all the way on my three case's so horribly I finally had to dismiss him from my case's because he couldn't seem to settle them after all those year's gone by. I was then fortunate enough to obtain Eason & Tambornini to represent me on my case's and they were able to settle my case's without any problems what so ever. I would and actually already have recommended Eason & Tambornini to family and friends who need good representation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Eason & Tambornini and the entire law firms team.Sincerely,Daniel F.

I had the pleasure of working with Eason and Tamborini Law for my father’s car accident case, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. Attorney Seth Bradly is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also truly dedicated to his clients. He took the time to explain every step of the legal process to me, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed throughout. His expertise and attention to detail made a challenging situation much easier to navigate. Prior to hiring Seth we had contacted other law firms in the area and felt as if all they truly cared about was their payout. Seth came highly recommended by a friend who was very pleased with her representation and outcome of her case.A special mention goes to Francesca, Seth's assistant, who was always prompt, professional, and genuinely caring. She kept everything organized and was quick to respond to any questions I had, making the whole experience seamless. Francesca was very helpful throughout the entire process and my family and l can’t thank her enough for always being so kind and understanding.If you’re looking for a law firm that combines expertise with exceptional client service, Eason and Tamborini is the way to go.

I have so many good things to say about Eason and Tamborini! I would highly recommend anyone who would want the best representation to contact them! My experience has been amazing from start to finish. I would like to thank Matt, Kristopher, and especially Kristen. Kristen is an amazing person and truly cares about making sure you feel represented and cared for. There was never a time where I felt my questions weren’t being answered in a timely manner and I really cannot thank the legal team enough. It was a long year and some months, but I am more than satisfied with the outcome and truly feel there would not have been better representation for my case. Do yourself a favor and get represented by people who genuinely care about your well being and the outcome of your case! If I could rate them 10 stars I would!!

Determining the Cause of the Injury

A seasoned product liability attorney knows that to win such a case in California, they must prove a product was defective when purchased. Further, they must demonstrate that the injury was directly related to the product defect. Often, expert witnesses are called upon for testimony. Hiring a knowledgeable product liability attorney dramatically increases your chances of successfully proving that your injuries directly resulted from the defect and receiving the fair compensation to which you are entitled.

Personal Injury from Defective and Dangerous Machinery

Industrial workers regularly encounter hazardous and defective machinery that can cause workplace accidents. Most of these accidents occur in warehouses, construction sites, manufacturing sites, and other areas where workers use heavy machinery daily. If you’re injured because of faulty or defective equipment, including forklifts, industrial presses, saws, blades, or landscaping tools, you may be able to file a product liability lawsuit.

Sometimes, workers’ compensation will remedy your situation, but even after receiving workers’ compensation, you may have the option of litigation against the manufacturers and distributors of defective products. When you hire one of our knowledgeable Sacramento product liability attorneys, we’ll help you prove a faulty piece of equipment caused your injury. We want you to receive the maximum settlement for your injuries.

Product Liability Cases Stemming from Defective Medical Products

Industrial products such as surgical instruments, artificial knee or hip implants, heart monitors, and pacemakers are examples of medical products that can be defective.

Additionally, both over-the-counter medicines and prescription meds can be defective and cause harm to those ingesting them. If manufactured or distributed incorrectly to consumers or sold without correct instructions for use, including potential side effects, these products can cause severe allergic reactions, toxic poisoning, and, in some cases, wrongful death.

Manufacturers are legally required to provide consumers and medical professionals with clear and complete warnings of the risks and dangers of using their products. Medical product manufacturers that fail to do this may violate state-mandated product liability laws and regulations.

Common Medical Products Involved in Product Liability Cases

While the list is certainly not limited to the following products, some of the most common types of medical products that show up in product liability cases include:

Heart stents
Heart valves and pacemakers
Artificial hip, knee, and shoulder prostheses (used for joint replacement)
Defibrillators
Prescription medicines
Hernia mesh
Contraceptives
Hospital supplies
Diagnostic equipment

Sometimes, design flaws do not surface or occur after distribution and widespread patient use. When patients experience severe adverse effects from medical products, it’s often because of these design flaws. Our experienced Sacramento product liability lawyers have handled countless defective medical product cases. We understand the importance of holding medical companies accountable for the harm they cause patients and families.

Personal Injury from Defective Medicines and Prescription Drugs

Prescription drugs, medicines, and treatments can pose significant personal injury risks and even wrongful death to patients and recipients. Over their many years in practice, our Sacramento personal injury attorneys have helped clients in the Sacramento region who are victims of defective medical drugs.

A few examples of widely known defectively designed or manufactured drugs include:

Accutane
Bextra
Fenfluramine/phentermine (“Fen-Phen”)
Yasmin/Yaz
VIOXX

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), about 1.3 million emergency room visits are due to drug reactions from defective medicines, including pharmaceuticals, prescription drugs, and treatments.

One of the most recognized pharmaceutical product liability cases in recent years involved Purdue Pharma, which was accused of not properly disclosing the highly addictive properties of its signature drug, OxyContin. More than 60,000 victims were part of the class action suit.

FAQ: How can our Sacramento product liability attorneys help you file a medical liability lawsuit?

Suppose your medical professional, including a doctor or psychiatrist, determines that a drug or medical device caused your condition or injury. In that case, you should find a skilled lawyer as soon as possible. Our product liability lawyers have extensive experience with personal injury cases resulting from pharmaceutical and product liability lawsuits. They can help you from the beginning to the final successful resolution of your case.

Sacramento product liability attorneys who know the three types of product liability claims

A product liability attorney must prove that the product was defective to win a product liability case. While defective product cases can vary depending on the type of product and specific circumstances, in California, claims fall into three categories:

Defective manufacturing: This is caused by a mistake during manufacturing, such as a malfunctioning or missing part.
Defective design: While a product may work as designed, a flaw in its design causes it to malfunction or be inherently dangerous to use or operate. Often, defective designs trigger mass recalls of an item, such as a vehicle.
Lack of appropriate warnings or instructions: If a product fails to come with a proper warning or correct operating instructions, and a person is injured because of the omission, the manufacturers and distributors can be held liable.

FAQ: Who can be liable for a defective product, and for how long?

A product liability attorney may pursue legal action against the product’s designers, manufacturers, retailers, and distributors. In other words, there is potentially a case for liability at every level.

Regardless of who the suit is filed against, the defendant(s) may be held liable if the plaintiff proves the product is defective, even if it was unintentional or great care was used to prevent an accident or injury from happening.

California’s statute of limitations for defective products and inadequate warnings is usually established two years after the injury. While there may be exceptions that your product liability lawyer can explain, in most cases, a plaintiff must file a lawsuit within two years or lose their right to sue for product liability.

Determining Responsibility: The Case for Skilled Sacramento Product Liability Attorneys

Regarding product liability, details matter, and hiring an experienced product liability lawyer who understands the scrutiny needed for such cases is essential. In reality, anyone who has touched or had a part in the process from the design stage to the selling of the product may be at least partially liable. These parties could include:

The original equipment manufacturer of the components or parts of the defective item
The assembler of the products (if different than the manufacturer, which is familiar with electronic devices)
The distributor or wholesaler who facilitated moving the item to the market
Any sellers, including retail stores where a defective product was purchased

An injured party may only file a lawsuit once for the same injury. This is a critical reason for finding a skilled product liability lawyer with ample experience in defective product law.
