Every day, consumers use countless products with the expectation that they are safe and functional. From household appliances and power tools to medications and car parts, we trust that manufacturers have done their due diligence. But when a defective product causes injury, the results can be severe — and in many cases, entirely preventable. Product liability law exists to hold companies accountable and help injured consumers obtain the compensation they deserve.
What Is Product Liability?
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers for injuries caused by defective or dangerous products. In New Jersey, you may have a valid claim if a product:
- Had a manufacturing defect
- Had a design defect
- Lacked proper instructions or safety warnings (failure to warn)
These cases are governed by both state statutes and principles of negligence and strict liability. Unlike traditional personal injury claims, you may not need to prove the company was negligent — only that the product was defective and caused your injury.
Examples of Defective Products
Product liability lawsuits can involve a wide range of items, including:
- Defective medical devices or pharmaceuticals
- Exploding batteries or electronics
- Faulty auto parts (brakes, airbags, etc.)
- Toys with choking hazards or toxic materials
- Improperly labeled household chemicals
These defects can result in burns, fractures, internal injuries, permanent disability — and in tragic cases, death.
Compensation in a Product Liability Case
Victims of defective products may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (including future treatment)
- Lost income and diminished earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement or permanent disability
- Wrongful death (in fatal cases)
Manufacturers often have strong legal teams protecting their interests. Having your own experienced product liability attorney levels the playing field.
