Auburn Product Liability Attorney | Personal Injury Lawyer

When consumers buy a product, they expect it to meet basic safety standards. When manufacturers, distributors, or retailers sell dangerous or poorly designed products, innocent people can suffer severe injuries. At the Law Offices of Thomas J. McDonnell, an experienced Auburn product liability attorney will stand up to major corporations and fight for full financial compensation.

Holding Manufacturers & Distributors Accountable in Placer County

Defective product claims arise from household appliances, industrial work site machinery, dangerous auto parts, medical devices, and children's toys used across Auburn, Roseville, Rocklin, and Lincoln. Unlike standard injury claims, product liability cases often rely on strict liability laws—meaning you do not necessarily have to prove manufacturer negligence, only that the product was defective and caused your harm.

As your local personal injury lawyer, Thomas J. McDonnell consults engineering and product safety experts to preserve evidence, trace chain-of-distribution liability, and hold large manufacturing firms accountable.

Types of Product Liability Claims We Handle

Product defects generally fall into three legal categories. We represent victims in claims involving:

• Design Defects: Inherent flaws in the product's design that make it unreasonably dangerous before it is even manufactured.
• Manufacturing Defects: Errors or contamination occurring during the manufacturing or assembly process that make a specific batch hazardous.
• Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn): Inadequate safety warnings, missing instruction manuals, or improper safety labeling regarding non-obvious risks.
• Defective Auto Components: Faulty airbag deployments, tire blowouts, brake failures, or seatbelt latch failures during highway collisions.
• Dangerous Machinery & Tools: Industrial tools, power equipment, or ladders lacking essential safety guards or emergency shutoffs.

• Emergency medical care, surgeries, hospital stays, and ongoing rehabilitation
