Product Defect / malpractice
defective products
If you've been injured by a defective product, then everyone in the chain of sale may be liable to you, including the manufacturer and the distributor.
In most cases, to win your product liability case, you must prove:
- The product was unreasonably dangerous or defective.
- You suffered an injury.
- Your injury was caused by the product defect.
Defective products can include household or workplace items such as kitchen appliances, industrial machines, cars, medical devices, beauty products, toys and recreational items.
MEdical MALPRACTICE
California Law states that a doctor is negligent if the doctor fails to use the level of skill, knowledge, and care in diagnosis and treatment that other reasonably careful doctors would use in the same or similar circumstances. This level of care is referred to as “the standard of care."
In California, special rules apply to medical malpractice claims that don't apply to other cases, such as caps on damages, caps on attorney's fees, and when and how you must file your claim. If you believe you might be the victim of medical malpractice, you should consult with an attorney right away.

In most cases, to win a legal malpractice case, you must establish:
- There was an attorney-client relationship.
- Your attorney's service fell below the standard of care.
- The substandard service caused you harm.
- You suffered damages.
The most common type of legal malpractice is
failing to file your lawsuit within the applicable statute of limitations, which requires that you file your lawsuit within a certain period of time or your claim is lost.
FOOD POISONING
Basic California Law provides that food sold to consumers must be fit for human consumption.
Food poisoning cases can range from moderate illnesses from improperly prepared food at a restaurant to catastrophic illnesses from contaminated food containing harmful and deadly bacteria.
