Newark Product Liability Lawyer

Some products that you use at home, work, or on vacation do not function properly. They could even cause you injury. Other products may work the way they are supposed to, but are designed so poorly that they cause harm even when they are functioning correctly. Defective and unsafe products should not be sold, and when they are, their manufacturer should be held liable for the damage they cause.

A Newark product liability lawyer could help you file a lawsuit against those who are responsible for your injuries. Personal injury attorneys with experience in product liability know how to pursue maximum compensation so you can recover without worrying about your financial situation.

Examples of Product Liability

A product liability lawyer in Newark could help with the following types of cases:

• A manufacturing defect caused the product to be unsafe
• Instructions or warnings about dangers related to the use of the product were inadequate or missing
• The product was designed in a way that was unsafe, even when the product was used properly

Even if the liable party is a manufacturing company with a big legal team, they should be held responsible for what they did.

What is Strict Liability?

Strict liability allows an injured person to file a lawsuit against the company, whether or not the company intended the defect or tested the product to try to find defects. They can even file a claim if the company was not aware of the defect. The company’s attempts at finding defects, avoiding them, or fixing defective products do not matter. Under strict liability, the manufacturer would be liable for the damages if the injured person and their Newark lawyer could prove that the product was defective at the time it left the manufacturer and caused the injury.

Proving Liability in Defective Product Claims

The product liability claim process typically begins when the lawyer notifies the manufacturer of the product and the retailer of the product about the injury. Once that happens, those companies will let their insurance companies know about the injury. At that point, a lawyer could file a product liability claim and try to settle the case without a lawsuit. If that does not work, our lawyers will file a lawsuit.

An experienced product liability lawyer in Newark knows how to investigate the situation and gather evidence, including pictures and videos of the product. The injured person’s medical records could be part of the evidence. There may also be a need for an expert to analyze the product and report on its condition. Because the condition of the actual product that caused the injury could be important to the case, the injured person should attempt to preserve it or document it thoroughly with multiple photos.
