For professional information you should always see a licensed product liability lawyer.
It is important to understand that the goal of a product liability lawyer is to protect consumers from dangerous products, as well as provide compensation for loss or harm caused by said products. They also sometimes seek to punish the manufactures of the defective products so that the situation never occurs again.
How does product liability occur?
It is important to understand the how and why of product liability. Just what falls under this statute? What can you do about it? Who are the people that can be blamed for it? Product liability claims can be brought under a number of different theories, including:
Defective Product Design
This occurs when products become defective during the design of the initial product. The group responsible for design the product is held liable for design flaws of the product in question.
Product Manufacturing Defects.
This occurs when the product becomes defective during the manufacturing process. Manufactures are held responsible for improper fabrication of products. This could be caused by negligence(see below), or faulty product fabrication equipment.
Marketing Defects.
A marketing defect involves such issues as inadequate warning labels or instructions.
Negligence.
This happens when specified people in charge of placing the product into the use neglect marketing, manufacturing, or design defects and still put it on the shelves.
This is just the start of what your product liability lawyer in NJ will tell you about how to handle defective products that have harmed you, a loved one, or a colleague. This is of course a general overview and should only be used to provoke thinking on product liability.
