Products Liability

The basic criteria for a typical defective product claim include:

You have suffered significant injuries. You need to show that the accident you suffered caused sufficient physical and/or financial harm to merit some kind of compensation.
These injuries are directly related to a certain product’s defects. If the accident occurred because you were using the product incorrectly, or because of another factor such as a third party’s actions, you may not have grounds for a claim.
The specific model you used has not been formerly recalled, and warnings about its defects have not been issued by the company or the government. This is a common defense against product liability claims, so it is important to carefully research it.
The product was not modified or damaged between the time you purchased it and the time you were injured. If you have been injured by a product that became defective because it was incorrectly stored or modified, you may not be successful in your claim.

Products Liability Accidents in New Jersey

Products Liability Accidents:

Products liability is that aspect of personal injury law that permits an injured person to recover money damages from the manufacturer, seller, distributor, or other person involved with placing a product into the stream of commerce if the product was defective or unsafe.

When a company makes a product available to the general public, they have a legal and ethical duty to ensure it is reasonably safe when used correctly. A legal doctrine known as product liability holds all businesses responsible for injuries caused by defective products. In New Jersey, this doctrine is covered by the Product Liability Act, adopted in 1987.

If your life has been affected by a dangerously flawed food product, household chemical, automotive part, or other product, you could have grounds for legal action. The first step in filing a product liability claim is determining whether or not you have a strong case.
