Our goal is to ensure that clients receive the maximum compensation for their injuries. We collaborate with experts who provide valuable testimony regarding faulty car parts.

We spare no expense in building a strong personal injury claim for our clients.

Car defect accidents fall under product liability law. According to California's product liability principles, manufacturers and sellers are liable if a defective product causes harm to consumers, regardless of negligence. If your attorney can prove that a car part defect was involved in the accident, the manufacturer may be required to compensate you without further proof of negligence. Major types of defects include:

• Design defects: Issues with the vehicle's original design compromising safety, such as a high center of gravity.
• Manufacturing defects: Errors during production that render an otherwise safe design dangerous.
• Marketing defects: Failures to provide adequate warnings, instructions, or information about proper installation, leading to consumer injuries.

Under strict product liability principles, your attorney only needs to prove the existence of a defect and its connection to the car accident or injury. Hiring Jimmie W. Kang can help you effectively prove product liability cases and secure fair compensation.

You must file a product liability claim within the timeframe set by California law. In California, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury. If injuries are discovered later, you must file within two years of discovering the injury. Missing this deadline usually forfeits your right to compensation, as courts typically reject late filings. Consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure timely submission of your claim and to allow sufficient time for proving the defect's connection to the accident.
