Some lawyers charge an initial consultation fee, but many offer free first meetings. Costs for expert witnesses and court filings can add up, but these are often advanced by the lawyer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a product liability lawsuit in Greenbrae California?
In California, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a product liability lawsuit. This is set by California Code of Civil Procedure section 335.1. There are also statutes of repose that may limit claims for older products.
What types of damages can I recover in a Greenbrae product liability case?
You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. In California, punitive damages may also be available if the defendant acted with malice or fraud. Each case depends on the specific facts.
Do I need to prove the manufacturer was negligent in a Greenbrae product liability claim?
No. California follows strict liability for product defects. You do not need to prove negligence. You only need to show the product was defective and the defect caused your injury. This rule comes from the California Supreme Court case Greenman v. Yuba Power Products.
