Helping With Defective Product Litigation
Product liability is the body of law that provides for compensation for physical injuries and property damage resulting from defective and unreasonably dangerous products. Defective products can cause serious injuries, financial hardship, and emotional distress. If you or your loved ones have suffered due to a faulty product, rest assured that Attorney Michael R. Hirman has the expertise and dedication to hold negligent manufacturers and distributors accountable. With over 15 years of experience in plaintiff's product liability cases, he possesses a keen understanding of the complexities involved in defective product litigation.
We work throughout California pursuing claims on behalf of individuals and groups of people who have been injured or killed by unsafe products. When an unsafe product causes an injury or death, the resulting claim is called a "product liability claim." A product liability claim may occur when a product has a design or manufacturing defect or when the manufacturer provides inadequate instructions for use or insufficient warnings about the hazards the product presents.
Product liability cases and class actions are complex. They require an investment of time and money in order to produce a result that reflects the impact the injury has had on the families and survivors of the defective product. We know how to successfully pursue product liability claims and class actions for our clients. We find the important documents that prove the case. We locate and prepare experts, and we explain the case to the judge and jury in a way that makes them understand our client's injuries and the damages they have suffered.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
Injuries caused by a defective product can be some of the most difficult to resolve. Often the victim of such an injury does not know how to proceed in getting compensation. Our office can help you in obtain fair and just compensation. Product liability is the body of law that provides for compensation for physical injuries and property damage resulting from defective and unreasonably dangerous products or from the failure of a manufacturer or seller to warn the consumer of product dangers.
Product liability encompasses a number of legal claims that allow an injured party to recover financial compensation from the manufacturer or seller of a product. In California, the claims most commonly associated with product liability are negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty, and various consumer protection claims. Each type of product liability claim requires different elements to be proven to present a successful claim.

When the same product has injured a number of people, they may join together in a group or class action to pursue recovery for their injuries.

CASE HISTORY
Attorney for Personal Injury
Suffering an injury due to someone else's negligence can be life-altering, leaving you with physical pain, emotional trauma, and financial burdens. During these challenging times, having a compassionate and experienced personal injury attorney by your side can make all the difference.
Insurance companies have an incentive to pay you the lowest amount of compensation for your injuries that they can. In attempting to persuade you to accept a "low-ball" settlement, some insurance adjusters will try to scare you by telling you that unless you accept the amount being offered, you will be required to participate in protracted and complicated arbitration proceedings. Sometimes they will neglect to even tell you that you are entitled to damages for pain and suffering (often the largest damages component), in addition to compensation for your medical bills. At the Law Office of Michael R. Hirman, we are dedicated to fighting for justice on behalf of injury victims in San Diego County.
