The experience and success we have achieved in products liability litigation over the years in California and throughout the United States not only allows us to evaluate and pursue these claims with a high degree of skill, but also enables our attorneys to examine all negligence cases for the possibility of a claim against the manufacturer or distributor of a critically defective device or component.

We handle defective consumer products cases of the following kinds:

• Automotive components from brakes to seat belts

• Paint, solvents, and cleaning fluids
• Sporting goods from archery equipment to bike or motorcycle helmets
• Children's toys, including those imported with dangerous levels of lead paint
• Medical devices, prostheses, and implants

Our ability to work effectively with the team of forensic experts necessary to establish a defective products claim can make a significant difference in the outcome of your claim for damages. In many cases, it is highly desirable for the sake of a convincing case to show that the product in question could have been manufactured at a similar cost without the defect that resulted in your injury. In other words, we usually expect to redesign the product that harmed you, your spouse, or your child.

The technical and evidentiary support of design experts, industrial engineers, biomechanical engineers, and human factor specialists can generate very considerable expenses while your case is pending. Fortunately for our clients, our past success with products liability litigation allows us to advance all of the costs involved in developing and proving your case. We only recover our expenses when we win a settlement or jury verdict on your behalf.

Over the years, The McClellan Law Firm has recovered approximately $250 million on behalf of seriously injured clients or the surviving families of those killed in accidents of all kinds. Many of these cases involved dangerously defective products around the house or in the car.
