Consumers typically trust that the products they buy will be safe to use. However, in some cases, products may be defective or negligently designed, resulting in severe injury. If you were injured as a result of a defective product in Morristown, Parsippany, Madison, or a surrounding Morris County community, you may have the ability to seek compensation by filing a product liability claim. This is because the entities responsible for the product, including manufacturers, designers, and retailers, have a legal duty to ensure the product is safe. When you are injured contact our experienced New Jersey personal injury attorneys at Lutz Injury Law to learn more about your potential product liability claim.
Companies have a duty to ensure that their products are safe for their consumers to use. This is known as product liability, and lawsuits can arise if a company fails its duty and creates a defective product. While product liability issues can happen with anything, they are most commonly found with children’s toys, appliances, motor vehicles, and more. Companies are required to provide labeled instructions along with their products to inform their buyers on how to safely use the product. If an injury results from missing safety instructions, the injured party may be entitled to compensation for their burdens.
Under New Jersey product liability law, the injured party is not always required to show that negligence caused their injuries. This is because manufacturers are strictly liable for producing defective products. As such, the consumer must simply show that the product was faulty.
These claims often arise when products fail during normal, intended use, or when foreseeable misuses results in a serious injury as the result of a malfunction or improper warning. As such, understanding how and why the product failed is a critical aspect of building a claim.
There are three different types of defects that someone can be held responsible for in a product liability case. As such, liability will depend on a number of factors, including the type of defect and how many individuals were involved from design to injury.
If you were injured as a result of a defective product in Parsippany, Montville, Morris Town, or any other Morris County Community, do not throw the product away. Although it may be your immediate instinct, the defective product can be a key component to a successful product liability claim. Additionally, you will want to retain the services of a skilled personal injury attorney that can help you begin the legal process.
The state of New Jersey has a statute of limitations of two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. This means that if you fail to file your product liability claim within two years from the date of your injury, you may lose the opportunity to receive the compensation you deserve. It is in your best interest to reach out to our firm as soon as possible to ensure you are meeting all of your deadlines.
It;s also important to understand that New Jersey law often imposes specific requirements for filing claims against certain parties, and failing to meet these requirements can jeopardize your case.
Victims of defective products may be entitled to financial compensation depending on the circumstances of the accident, including the severity of the injuries suffered.
