These days, most items on the local store shelves have been tested for almost any kind of situation. However, occasionally a product in Oceanside is defective. If you or a loved one has been harmed by such a product, you could have a lawsuit that utilizes the laws of Product Liability.

The Law of Product Liability in California

There are three forms of defects that the laws of Product Liability encompass in California.

The first is recognized as "manufacturing defects." These defects exist when a product is of sound design, but was assembled or built improperly. For instance, the design of an electric saw might include an emergency shutoff switch. If this switch was installed improperly, and therefore didn't work, this would be an example of a manufacturing defect.

The second type are design defects. Design defects are found when the plans off of which the products are built are faulty themselves. If, for instance, a thermos called for too thin of a material to be used, and hot liquids spilled out and seared the user, this would be a design defect.

Life in Oceanside

Oceanside, California is the third-largest city in San Diego County. Its population is just under 180,000 people.

Oceanside is located near Camp Pendleton, which is the busiest, and one of the largest, military installations in the U.S., and a major source of the area's economic activity.

Oceanside, California was originally settled by Europeans in 1769, when Spanish missionaries arrived in the area, though the area had been populated by Native Americans for thousands of years before, and became part of Spain's North American empire. In 1821, when Mexico gained independence from Spain, the area now known as Oceanside, and the rest of California, became part of Mexico. The area fell under U.S. control after Mexico lost the Mexican-American war.

This led to a land rush into the newly-acquired territories by American settlers. By the early 20th Century, Oceanside began to develop into the beach community that we would recognize today.

Oceanside has a climate which, for many people, isnearly perfect, with temperatures rarely exceeding 80 degrees, or dropping below 40 degrees, coupled with small amounts of rain.

Oceanside, California is a very attractive area to live, owing to its proximity to one of the largest cities in the U.S.,and its mild climate. It should be no surprise, then, that given its fairly large population, and attractive living conditions, many Oceanside, California lawyers practice in the area. An Oceanside, California attorney can handle just about any legal issue a resident of the area is likely to face.
