Types of Product Liability Claims in New York
There are multiple ways that a manufacturing company or commercial enterprise could have been negligent in designing or distributing hazardous products and goods. Our lawyers are highly knowledgeable about each of these different arenas and in determining which scenario most likely applies to your case.
Many kinds of product liability injuries involve some form of:
- Defect in design – When the product was inherently dangerous from its very design, where the creators did not take into consideration all the aspects it could harm a user, this could lead to devastating injuries.
- Defect in manufacturing – Sometimes, products may have been designed safely, but the lax procedures during manufacturing caused the object to become dangerous. Whether the products were loosely sealed, or missing a critical piece, they can instantly become deadly to consumers.
- Lack of warning – Certain products inherently have more dangerous components if they are not used properly. Failing to have clear warning labels and instructions, whether on children’s toys or home tools, could cause instantaneous pain and even death.
- Misrepresentation during marketing – It is the responsibility of the retailer to indicate how a product must be safely used, as well as include descriptions of potential side effects if used improperly.
