Products Liability

People are injured regularly by defective products and they do not realize a financial claim may be available when they retain an experienced defective product law firm in NJ. Defective products abound in the U.S. economy, and even relatively minor injuries can establish standing for an injury case. While some form of documentation is necessary to prove the injury occurred due to use of the product, the extent of injury is not required to meet a certain standard beyond requiring medical treatment or possible reimbursement for the product purchase. However, this is a legal task that the novice injured party cannot accomplish without assistance from effective legal counsel like the New Jersey product liability lawyers at Gruber Schwartz & Posnock.

Establishing Case Validity

The primary advantage for a plaintiff in a defective product claim is that the representing attorney is not required to prove negligence on the part of the manufacturer or retail sales outlet. All manufacturers are held to strict liability when their products reach the market for sale and use. The legal representative must only prove the injury happened to the plaintiff and that the product was either directly or indirectly at least partially responsible for creating the injury.

Potential Damages

The level of damages awarded in a product liability case should be commensurate with the extent of injury or amount of damage resulting from use of the product. This can range from minor recoverable health issues to a fatality in some very egregious cases. Examples of products that are commonly subject to product liability claims include:

• Automotive parts
• Medical devices
• Industrial products
• Food products
• Toys
• Products with toxic chemicals
