Product Liability

California law provides that someone who is harmed by a product containing a manufacturing or design defect or for which there are insufficient use instructions or warnings is entitled to receive compensation from any entity that sold, distributed or manufactured the product. This is known as the “strict liability” theory of product liability.

Attorney Sahhar has achieved significant results, totaling many millions of dollars, in product liability cases involving a wide variety of products including defective electric tailgates, defective forklifts and forklift attachments, defective industrial tractors, defective safety devices, defective tractor attachments, defective filing cabinets, and defective high pressure valves.

Product liability cases are often complicated and require extensive amounts of work up and expertise. Defendants in product liability routinely deny liability and hire numerous attorneys who will simply try to out work the injured party’s attorney. Attorney Sahhar, on an as-needed basis and at no expense to his clients, will associate additional, qualified attorneys to assist in the prosecution of product liability claims. This will ensure a level “playing field” that allows those injured by defective products to obtain the justice they deserve.

If you are injured by a defective product, you are entitled to compensation for the following:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages and lost or reduced earning capacity
  • Out of pocket expenses
  • Damage to personal property
  • General damages, including pain and suffering, changes to your quality of life, inconvenience, frustration, grief, anxiety, humiliation, disfigurement, physical impairment, physical pain, mental suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
