What Are Defective Product Claims?

State product liability laws provide substantial remedies for residents harmed by defective products, and determine when and how a manufacturer can be sued. Specifically, manufacturers must design and manufacture products that are safe when they are used for their intended purposes and must warn consumers of risks those products might expose them to. When a manufacturer fails to fulfill those obligations, it should reimburse injured parties for the damage caused by the product. Unfortunately, manufacturers often put profits ahead of consumer safety, which can leave consumers with ruinous medical bills and other financial losses.

Defective products include nearly any type of product, including:

• Cars and car components, such as tires
• Household consumer machines, such as toasters and coffee makers
• Bicycle helmets, skis, and other types of sporting gear
• Park playground equipment
• Medical items

An attorney in New Jersey can determine the cause of a defective product and help hold the manufacturer accountable.

What Are the Different Types of Product Liability Claims?

A defective product claim may fall into one or more of three categories:

• Defective design
• Defective manufacturing
• Defective marketing, or failure to warn

Each category is determined by when the product became dangerous to the consumer. Some items are inherently dangerous, indicating poor design. Other products are safe normally, but may have been contaminated or poorly made. Still others can be well-manufactured but lack appropriate instructions for safe usage. Call an experienced New Jersey defective products attorney for a specific analysis of the type of claim you might have.

How Do You Prove Product Liability?

State law applies strict liability to defective product lawsuits. This means that you do not need to show that the manufacturer was negligent, but only that the product was defective. Nonetheless, to recover monetary damages for your injuries in a product liability case, the evidence must show:

• You were injured or you suffered monetary losses. If you were not injured or there was no financial harm, then you do not have a claim.
• The product that harmed you is actually defective in that its design was unsafe, it was fabricated improperly, such that it was dangerous to use, or it did not come with adequate warnings or instructions.
• The product defect was the direct and proximate cause of your injury or losses.
• You were using the product for its intended use and purpose.

A New Jersey lawyer will review your product liability case and collect the evidence needed to prove liability.

When Should You Call a Defective Products Lawyer?

In New Jersey, you have two years from the date of your injury or from when you should have known about the injury to file your product liability lawsuit. You should not, however, wait for two years to contact a defective products attorney after you are hurt. Your lawyer will have a better opportunity to investigate your case when the facts are still fresh, and will then be able to file the strongest possible product liability claims to get you the compensation you deserve.
