Holding Manufacturers Accountable For the Safety of Their Products
When a company puts its products on the market, they have a legal duty of safety to the end user. If products cause or contribute to injury or death, then the violation of the duty is grounds for a lawsuit.
The law firm of Moss ◊ Hovden in Whittier, California, has successfully sued major manufacturers for defective products that maimed or killed. Few law firms are equipped to handle these expensive, complex and hard-fought cases.
Serving victims and families across Southern California, we welcome cases of serious personal injury or wrongful death resulting from a dangerous or defective product. Call 877.766.6507 for a free consultation, or send us an e-mail.
Accomplished Defective Product Attorneys
Product liability is a special focus for trial lawyers Del Hovden and Rodney Moss. In nearly 70 years of combined experience, they have won multimillion-dollar damages and brought suit in a wide range of cases, including:
- Auto defects (tires, air bags, seat belts, etc.)
- Instability and crashworthiness (SUV rollovers)
- Malfunctioning medical devices
- Workplace machine accidents
- Power tools and appliances
- Hazardous toys
- Tainted food
Proving This Could Have Been Prevented
In many claims, Moss ◊ Hovden has led the way in exposing dangerous products and holding manufacturers responsible. In other cases, our clients were among many people hurt by a product subject to recall.
A defective product lawsuit must prove a design defect that makes it unsafe, a manufacturing flaw or a failure to warn users of known or reasonably foreseeable dangers. We have handled many products cases and are very experienced in this area of the law.
Successful Products Liability Cases We Have Handled
A worker became caught in the rollers of dishwashing apparatus while trying to repair the machine, which did not have an emergency shut-off switch. He lost function in that hand and could no longer work, resulting in a seven-figure settlement.
In a motor home collision, a defective attachment or design caused the RV's door to come off at impact. We sued the automaker for the wrongful death of the driver and his granddaughter who were ejected from the vehicle through the door opening. We recovered a seven-figure award for the family.

We have the resources and industry connections to hire experts in engineering and product safety to build a compelling case of liability. Moss ◊ Hovden advances these considerable costs, and we do not recover that money unless we secure compensation.
