Average Costs Of Hiring A Defective Product Lawyer In California
Being injured is upsetting and difficult at best. However, when you suffer harm because of a defective product, it can be even more frustrating.

Our defective product lawyers bring decades of combined experience to each case they handle. We are here to assist you in learning more about your rights as the victim of a defective product and how to get the compensation you deserve.
But if you are like most victims of a personal injury, you are facing many financial challenges that could prevent you from getting the legal guidance you need. Many victims contact our office to ask about the average costs of hiring a defective product lawyer and how much we charge to handle a case that is similar to theirs. They have read that the average California lawyer charges from $300 to $400 per hour and could require up to $10K upfront to begin to prepare their case.

You will learn about this policy and much more when you attend a free consultation with a Kenmore Law Group defective product lawyer to discuss the facts of your case.

What Is The Statute Of Limitations For A Defective Product Lawsuit?
The Statute of Limitations defines how long a victim is given to file their lawsuit with the court. If the case is not in the hands of the court by the time the Statute of Limitations expires, the victim loses the right to seek compensation or justice from the manufacturer for the harm and damages they suffered due to the failure of a defective product. In addition, there are only rarely exceptions to the time limit to file a claim, so it is recommended to seek the help of the Kenmore Law Group legal experts as soon as possible after suffering an injury to fully understand your rights and time to file a claim if you decide that is in your best interest.
In cases regarding a personal injury due to a defective product failure, the victim is given two years from the date of the incident to have their claim filed with the court. If the lawsuit is not filed in that time, in most cases, the victim will never be able to hold the manufacturer accountable for the defective item or the damage it caused. Please get in touch with Kenmore Law Group immediately to learn more about your rights and the time you have to file your case without worry of it being denied due to the Statute of Limitations expiring.
The Task Facing Your Defective Product Lawyer
When you or a loved one are harmed by a defective product, it could appear like a simple process to demonstrate to the court how the item failed and caused an injury. However, winning a defective product lawsuit is much more complicated than you might imagine. There are three categories for these product liability cases that deal with:
- Design defects
- A manufacturing defect
- A marketing defect
For your case to be successful, your legal team will need to establish the type of product defect and then demonstrate that:
- The product was unsafe because of its design or manufacturing
- The product was being used in a reasonable or intended manner when it failed
- The defect or missing warning preventing a specific use is the direct cause of the victim’s injuries
- The victim suffered losses or damages directly as a result of using the product
Fortunately, the team at Kenmore Law Group has decades of success in litigating and winning defective product lawsuits for clients much like yourself. Please reach out to our office today to discuss your case with a product liability specialist who can explain your rights and how justice can be served.
What Costs Or Losses Are Included In My Defective Product Lawsuit Compensation?
As the victim of personal injuries suffered due to the use of a defective product, you have the right to seek compensation from the manufacturer for the losses and expenses you incurred due to your injuries. The legal team at Kenmore Law Group will work closely with you to help you compile all the allowable expenses when calculating the compensation amount requested in your lawsuit. The items that are commonly included are:
- All medical costs related to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of your injuries, including the cost of medical devices, medication, future essential medical procedures, and mental healthcare needed to overcome the stress, trauma, or PTSD that is a result of the injuries caused by the defective product
- The replacement value of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the incident
- Your lost wages if your injuries prevent you from fulfilling the tasks required in your normal job or you miss work to attend any treatment or medical appointments related to your injuries
- All legal fees and expenses related to the preparation, filing, and litigation of your defective product lawsuit
Does My Lawyer Get A Percentage Of My Compensation?
In most personal injury lawsuits, it is common for the legal team to receive from 30% to 40% of the compensation awarded for the lawsuit. However, you need to consider the added value the Kenmore Law Group legal staff brings to your case and the fact that the manufacturer of the defective product will be paying fees specifically allocated to cover your legal costs. So, you are not asked to give up some of the money that was provided to cover your medical expenses or other losses to compensate your defective product lawyer.
Can I Handle My Own Defective Product Lawsuit?
It is possible for a victim to handle their own lawsuit. However, it is never recommended because the legal system is complex. In addition, the manufacturer will arrive at the courthouse with a massive team of lawyers who will likely have your case thrown out in the first hour of the trial if you make it through the filing process. Finally, it is widely accepted that a case litigated by expert lawyers, such as the ones at Kenmore Law Group, will secure three times the compensation awarded in a similar case handled by the victim.
Putting some numbers to this will clarify the financial benefits of investing in Kenmore Law Group. Imagine you file a lawsuit that is worth $200K. You prepare and file this case with no legal guidance and are handling it all on your own. If you are very fortunate, you will be awarded the full $200K. However, you could also very well end up getting nothing. That same case, when litigated by Kenmore Law Group, is typically going to be awarded $600K. However, you will need to pay the law firm $240K for their work and investment in your case. The impressive part is that you are left with $360K to cover all your losses and expenses. In addition to the extra $160K, you did not need to invest any time preparing your lawsuit or handle the added stress of learning what your lawyer invested years in law school to master.
