LOS ANGELES PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWYER
Each year, defective products cause thousands of injuries and many deaths across the United States.
In many cases, it’s due to negligent manufacturers being too eager to get their products on the market. However, even if they’re not negligent, it doesn’t mean their products are safe. They can still be held liable for injuries sustained by unsuspecting consumers.
Cohen & Marzban is one of the top Los Angeles product liability attorney firms.
We help clients who have been injured by defective products to receive the compensation they deserve.
Statistics from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) paint a worrisome picture.

- On average, there are 25,500 emergency department (ED)-treated injuries associated with tip-over incidents (televisions, furniture, and appliances).

Do i have to prove negligence?
In personal injury cases, the plaintiff usually has to prove that the defendant was negligent. Negligence is any act or omission by the defendant that results in a breach of their duty of care that could likely cause injuries to consumers.
However, you don’t have to prove negligence in product liability cases in California. Claims can be based on negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty. Strict liability is the most common choice.
Many states, including California, follow a strict liability doctrine for products liability.
Strict liability requires you to prove:
- The product was defective, regardless of whether the defendant was negligent or not.
- The defect was the actual and proximate cause (main cause) of the injury you sustained.
