Types Of Product Liability Claims

When people think of dangerous products, they often picture recalls or faulty cars. But product liability covers a wide range of problems. South Jersey law recognizes three main types of product liability claims, and each one looks at a different way something can go wrong:

Design Defects

This is when the product was flawed from the start, before it was even made. The design itself is dangerous. Think of a space heater that overheats every time it’s plugged in, or a ladder that tips even when used correctly. If the product was unsafe by design, and you got hurt using it the way it was meant to be used, that’s a design defect case.

Manufacturing Defects

Here, the design is fine, but something went wrong while making it. Maybe a batch of medication was contaminated. Or a bicycle had a missing bolt that caused a crash. These cases focus on what went wrong during production, often with a single item or group of items.

Marketing Defects

These involve bad instructions, missing warnings, or misleading labels. For example, a cleaning product without a warning about toxic fumes, or a prescription drug with no mention of serious side effects. If a company didn’t tell you how to use the product safely or didn’t warn you about risks, they may be liable.

Who Can Be Held Liable?

One of the trickiest parts of product liability cases is figuring out who to blame. It’s not always the store where you bought the item. Often, it goes way further up the chain.Here are the usual suspects:Sometimes, more than one party can be held liable. Let’s say a phone charger was poorly made, but the store also removed a safety tag before selling it. That could lead to multiple claims.Big companies have big legal teams, and they usually try to dodge responsibility. But we’re not afraid to take them on.

  • The manufacturer (big or small) that made the product
  • The distributor or wholesaler that sold it in bulk
  • The retailer where you bought it
  • Even marketing companies that created misleading ads or labels

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a valid product liability case?

Faq IconFaq Icon

If you were injured by a product, there’s a chance you have a valid claim. The product must have been defectively designed, manufactured, or marketed. If you used it as intended and got hurt, it's worth having a South Jersey product liability lawyer evaluate your case. We’ll help you figure out if you have a solid claim.

What’s the statute of limitations for filing in New Jersey?

Faq IconFaq Icon

In New Jersey, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a product liability claim. Waiting longer than that could result in your case being thrown out. So if you’ve been injured, it’s important to act quickly.

Can I sue if I didn’t use the product exactly as intended?

Faq IconFaq Icon

Yes! Even if you didn’t use the product exactly as the manufacturer intended, you might still have a case. 

If the product was dangerous in its design, manufacture, or marketing, you could still be entitled to compensation, especially if it was reasonably foreseeable that the product could be used in other ways.

How long do these cases usually take?

Faq IconFaq Icon

Product liability cases can take anywhere from several months to a few years, depending on the complexity of the case. If the case goes to trial, it might take longer. However, we work to keep things moving and will always keep you updated along the way.

Do I need to keep the defective product?

Faq IconFaq Icon

Yes, keeping the defective product is crucial. It serves as key evidence in your case. If the product is no longer available, it can make proving your case more difficult. If you can, hold onto it or take photos before it’s discarded. 
If you’ve already disposed of it, don’t worry, we can still work with other evidence.
