Trusted Legal Representation for Product Injury Victims Across Arizona
Every product you bring into your home, put in your body, or use at work comes with an implied promise: that it is reasonably safe. When manufacturers, designers, or distributors break that promise and someone gets hurt, Arizona law gives injured people the right to hold those parties accountable.
At Canyon State Law, our product liability attorneys represent people who have been seriously injured by defective or dangerous products. We take on corporations and their insurers, build evidence-backed claims, and fight for the full compensation you deserve. Whether your injury happened in Mesa, Gilbert, Phoenix, or anywhere across the Valley, we are here to stand with you.
Under Arizona Revised Statutes Section 12-681, a product liability action is any claim brought against a manufacturer or seller of a product for bodily injury, death, or property damage arising from how the product was manufactured, designed, assembled, labeled, or sold, including the failure to warn of a known danger or provide adequate instructions for safe use.
Arizona recognizes both strict liability and negligence as legal theories in product defect cases. Under strict liability, a manufacturer or seller may be held responsible for a defective product even if they were not careless, so long as the defect made the product unreasonably dangerous and that defect caused your injuries. Under negligence, the focus is on whether the responsible party failed to exercise reasonable care at some stage of the product’s design, production, or distribution.
Both paths require proving that the product was defective and that the defect caused your harm. Depending on the facts of your case, one or both theories may apply.
Product liability claims arise across a wide range of consumer and commercial products. Cases we handle often involve defective or dangerous items, including auto parts and vehicles, children’s toys and nursery equipment, prescription drugs and medical devices, power tools and construction equipment, household appliances, unsafe food and beverage products, and industrial machinery. If a product caused your injury and you suspect it was defective, we want to hear your story.
Time matters in every product liability case. Under A.R.S. Section 12-542, injured Arizonans generally have two years from the date of injury, or from when they knew or reasonably should have known they were injured by wrongful conduct, to bring a personal injury claim.
Arizona also has a statute of repose under A.R.S. Section 12-551 that adds an important limitation: in most cases, a product liability action cannot be filed more than twelve years after the product was first sold for use or consumption. There are exceptions to this rule, including cases based on negligence or an express warranty breach by the manufacturer or seller, but the twelve-year outer limit catches many people off guard.
If you were injured by a defective product, do not wait to speak with an attorney. Missing either of these deadlines can permanently bar your right to compensation, regardless of how strong your case may be.
Arizona follows a pure comparative fault system. If you were partially at fault for your own injury, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you are not automatically barred from recovering damages. However, if a defendant can show that you misused the product in an unforeseeable way, or that someone else modified the product after it left the defendant’s control, those facts may reduce or offset what you can recover.
Under A.R.S. Section 12-683, defendants in Arizona product liability cases may raise specific affirmative defenses, including that the product conformed to the state of the art at the time it was first sold, that the product was altered or modified after the defendant relinquished control, or that the product was misused in a way that was not reasonably foreseeable. We prepare every case with these potential defenses in mind so you are never caught off guard.
The losses from a product-related injury can extend far beyond your initial medical bills. Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for current and future medical expenses, lost income and reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, rehabilitation and therapy costs, permanent disability or disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases involving particularly egregious conduct, punitive damages may also be available under Arizona law.
At Canyon State Law, we work with medical experts and other specialists to make sure that any demand or settlement fully reflects both your immediate losses and the long-term impact of your injuries. We do not settle for less than what your case is truly worth.
We begin every case with a free, confidential consultation. We listen to what happened, assess your situation honestly, and explain your legal options with no pressure and no cost.
Product liability cases require detailed investigation. We gather evidence, preserve the defective product when possible, obtain expert analysis, review any relevant recalls or regulatory actions, and build a clear, documented picture of what went wrong and who is responsible.
We submit a strong, evidence-backed demand to the manufacturer's or distributor's insurance company and negotiate aggressively for the maximum compensation available under Arizona law.
We are fully prepared to take your case to trial if the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer. Corporations often rely on the expectation that injured people will accept a low settlement rather than fight. We change that calculation.
We serve product injury victims throughout Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Glendale, and communities across Arizona. Our team brings local knowledge, direct communication, and genuine care to every case. You will always know where things stand, and you will never feel like just another file.
We handle product liability cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
If possible, preserve the product exactly as it was when the injury occurred. Do not repair or alter it. Physical evidence is often critical in product liability cases. If the product is gone, contact us anyway. There may be other ways to establish your claim.
If you or someone you love has been hurt by a defective product, you do not have to face the manufacturer or their legal team on your own. Canyon State Law is here to protect your rights, investigate your claim, and fight for the outcome you deserve.
