Key Takeaways
- Strict Liability Protection: Under California law, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held accountable when a defective product causes harm, allowing injured consumers to seek compensation without needing to prove direct negligence.
- Three Defect Categories: Product liability claims stem from design defects (inherent flaws in product blueprints), manufacturing defects (errors during production or assembly), or marketing defects (failure to warn, inadequate instructions, or improper marketing).
- Comprehensive Recoverable Compensation: Claims cover both economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages, treatment costs) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, disability, and loss of life enjoyment).
- Tailored Legal Strategy: Selective case acceptance ensures individualized client attention, thorough evidence gathering, and dedicated preparation aimed at securing maximum verdicts or settlements.
- Contingency Fee Representation: Partnering with an experienced Santa Rosa product liability attorney ensures access to legal representation across Northern California without upfront legal fees or out-of-pocket costs unless recovery is won.
You have every right to expect that a product will work as advertised when you buy it. Most times, that’s the case…but other times, a product will not live up to its billing. When this happens, the results cannot only be frustrating but may actually put you or a loved one in harm’s way. If and when that happens, you may be able to seek compensation for damages from the product’s manufacturer.
The Cartwright Law Firm has been a nationally recognized leader in shaping the direction of product liability law, and has achieved record verdicts and settlements on behalf of our clients. Get in contact with our Santa Rosa Product Liability Lawyers.
Product liability is a vast and ever-changing area of law. Thousands of products compete in the marketplace for consumers’ attention, and when they fail it is generally for three reasons:
A design defect
The product was not designed well on the drawing board, and this resulted in a defective product being manufactured.
A manufacturing defect
A product may be designed well, but some parts of the manufacturing process may be substandard, leading to a defective finished product.
A marketing defect
A product may be designed and manufactured well, but may not be presented to the public in an appropriate way. This may include defective instructions or inappropriate uses for the product in question.
When these defects cause harm, the product liability attorneys at the Santa Rosa office of The Cartwright Law Firm are ready to step in and defend the victim’s rights, helping them to be compensated for injuries or other losses they may have incurred.
Our attorneys are selective in the product liability cases we take on. This allows us to focus on each client to give them the highest level of service possible.

I cannot recommend Cartwright Law Firm and Andrew Ratto highly enough. He helped me through a very difficult time in my life and I do not know how I would have managed to get through it without the firm's professional guidance and support.
Everyone at the Cartwright Firm is very likeable. The attorneys and staff are kind, thoughtful, and sincere. They helped walk me through the entire process and were patient when explaining the legal jargon I didn't understand. It is clear they not only really care about your claim, but care about making sure you understand whats going on. Can't recommend them enough!
I worked with the Cartwright law Firm over 20 years ago and on a recent trip to San Francisco I met with Rob and his team of Attorneys for over 2 hours to get an opinion on a legal matter. I was extremely impressed at the professional attitude and real caring I received from their office. Please feel free to watch my VIDEO review vid.us/57pftr
I did not even have to take one step into a court room! I had an amazing experience with Robert Cartwright and his team. They walked me through every step, kept me well informed along the way, and I definitely recommend them to anyone having legal issues.
I recently had a serious altercation with an Uber driver. The Cartwright Law Firm was able to quickly and efficiently evaluate the merits of my case. They are very polite and great to work with. I would recommend The Cartwright Law Firm to any person who needs an experienced, aggressive firm to assist them in their injury case.
They were willing to take my case after being denied by other law firms, and was able to get me a great settlement. I did not event have to take one step in the court room! Highly recommended for any of your legal needs.
The Cartwright Law Firm is very professional and responsive to client needs. I recently had a personal injury case in which David Yen, and an associate from their firm, was able to obtain a fabulous result for me, and I never even had to step into the court room. Thank you again The Cartwright Law Firm!
