We have the skill and determination to do what it takes to hold companies accountable for the injuries they have caused.

New Jersey Product Liability Law

There may be many different legal theories available under New Jersey law to hold a manufacturer liable for injuries caused by a defective product. The most commonly-used legal theories include:

  • Negligence
  • Breach of Implied Warranty
  • Breach of Express Warranty
  • Strict Products Liability

Under the theory of Strict Liability, a product maker can be held responsible without having to prove negligence or fault on the part of the manufacturer. Makers of commercial and consumer products have a duty not to release any products to the public that are unreasonably unsafe by way of a design defect, a manufacturing defect, or a failure to warn of dangers associated with the product. Examples of defective products include:

  • Power saws, lawn mowers and other tools built without safety guards
  • Irons, heaters and other appliances designed without an automatic power shut-off
  • Air bags that fail to deploy; car seats that fail to withstand an impact
  • Household chemicals that do not give instructions for their safe use
