What Types Of Defects Can Lead To A Product Liability Claim?

In the state of New Jersey, several types of defects can lead to a product liability claim. ‍

‍

These include:

• Design Defects: Design defects refer to flaws in the original design of a product that make it unsafe for use. This means that every product produced using the same design will have the same defect, making it inherently dangerous.

• Manufacturing Defects: Manufacturing defects occur during the production process and result in a product that is different from its intended design. These defects can happen due to errors in machinery, improper assembly, or the use of low-quality materials.

• Marketing Defects: Also known as failure to warn, marketing defects refer to inadequate warnings or instructions provided with a product. If the potential risks associated with using a product are not clearly communicated to consumers, it can result in serious injuries and subsequent liability for the manufacturer.

• Breach of Warranty: When a company makes claims or promises about their product that turn out to be false, it can lead to a breach of warranty. This means that the product did not perform as expected and resulted in harm to the consumer.

‍

How Can I Determine If I Have A Valid Product Liability Claim?

If you have been injured by a defective product, certain criteria must be met to have a valid product liability claim in the state of New Jersey.

‍

‍These include:

• Injury or damages: The first and most important factor is that you have suffered injury or damages as a result of using the product. This can include physical injuries, emotional distress, or financial losses.

• Defect: As mentioned previously, the product must have a defect that caused your injuries. This can be any of the types of defects listed above.

• Use as intended: You must have used the product in a reasonably foreseeable manner and for its intended purpose. For example, if you were injured while using a ladder as a makeshift swing, it may not be considered a valid claim.

• Statute of limitations: In New Jersey, the statute of limitations for product liability claims is two years from the date of the injury. This means that you have two years to file a claim before it becomes invalid.

‍

If these criteria are met, then you will likely have a valid product liability claim. However, every case is unique, and it is important to consult with a personal injury attorney at Ibrahim Law to discuss the specifics of your situation.
