Product Liability
If a defective product has caused you severe harm, you need Burbank product liability lawyer to protect your rights against massive manufacturing corporations.
When we buy a product—whether it’s a household appliance, a child’s toy, auto parts, or a medical device—we expect it to be safe when used as directed. If a defective or dangerous product causes you physical harm, California law allows you to hold the responsible parties accountable. In California, we use a standard called "strict liability," meaning you often don't even have to prove the manufacturer was negligent; you just have to prove the product was defective and that the defect directly caused your injury.
Product liability claims generally fall into three categories:
Manufacturing Defects: A flaw occurred during the creation or assembly of the product, making that specific batch dangerous (e.g., a tainted batch of medication or a cracked bike frame).
Design Defects: The product was manufactured correctly, but the underlying design itself is inherently dangerous (e.g., an SUV prone to rolling over, or a power tool lacking a safety guard).
Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects): The product lacked adequate warning labels, safety instructions, or concealed hidden dangers from the consumer.
Liability isn't just limited to the company whose name is on the box. In California, anyone involved in the product's "chain of distribution" can potentially be held liable. This includes the product designer, the manufacturer, the manufacturer of component parts, the wholesaler, and even the retail store right here in Burbank or Los Angeles that sold the product to you.
Absolutely not. This is a common corporate tactic. If you send the defective product back to the manufacturer, your most crucial piece of evidence could conveniently get "lost" or altered, destroying your case. Keep the product exactly as it is, in a safe place, along with any packaging, receipts, and manuals. Do not attempt to fix it or use it again. Direct all communications to our office. We protect your evidence and handle corporate risk managers on your behalf, providing services in English, Russian, and Armenian (Հայերեն).
First, seek immediate medical attention and tell your doctor exactly how the injury happened so it is documented in your medical records. Second, secure the product, its packaging, and proof of purchase. Third, take extensive photos and videos of your injuries, the scene of the incident, and the defective product itself. Finally, contact the Law Office of Egishe Avetisian before speaking with any corporate representatives or giving a recorded statement.
Taking on a multi-million-dollar corporation and their legal teams is intimidating, but justice shouldn't be out of reach just because you don't have deep pockets. Our office operates on a strict "No Win, No Fee" contingency basis. We cover the upfront costs of investigating the defect, hiring product safety experts, and litigating your case.

Navigating the aftermath of an accident is overwhelming. Whether you are dealing with a minor injury or a life-altering event, the right legal guidance is the turning point in your recovery journey. At Law office of Egishe Avetisian, we specialize in turning the tide for our clients by securing the justice and compensation they deserve.
Insurance adjusters often call unrepresented victims in Glendale or Burbank shortly after an accident, offering a quick cash settlement. While this may seem helpful, these "lowball" offers are designed to close your case for pennies on the dollar before you even realize the full extent of your injuries.
Without a lawyer, you are often subjected to the "3 D's": Delaying your claim until you are financially desperate, Denying liability even when their driver is at fault, and Defending their bottom line at your expense. They count on your lack of legal leverage to avoid paying what is rightfully yours.
Adjusters may sound friendly, but they are trained to ask leading questions that trick you into admitting fault. In Los Angeles, these recorded statements are used later to reduce your compensation. Our office protects you by handling all communications in English, Russian, or Armenian, ensuring your words are never twisted.
We believe everyone deserves access to high-quality legal representation. Our Contingency Fee Policy (often called "No Win, No Fee") is designed to minimize your financial risk: Zero Upfront Costs: You don’t pay a dime out of pocket to start your case. Invested in Your Success: We only get paid if we win your case. This ensures we work diligently to maximize your recovery. Focus on Healing: Leave the legal complexities to us while you focus on your physical and emotional recovery.
For example, if you've been involved in a motorcycle accident, your lawyer will investigate the circumstances thoroughly. They will gather evidence, such as traffic camera footage or eyewitness accounts, to establish fault. This level of detail can be crucial in securing a favorable settlement or winning a court case.
