Defendant's Attorney: Sydne Schecter and Matthew Mueller

Description: Trenton, New Jersey personal injury lawyer represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendant on a product liability theory.

"New Jersey product liability law is based on the theory of strict liability. This means that a manufacturer or seller of a product can be held liable for injuries caused by the product, even if the manufacturer or seller was not negligent.

To succeed in a product liability lawsuit in New Jersey, a plaintiff must prove that:

The product was defective
The defect caused the plaintiff's injuries
The plaintiff used the product in a reasonably foreseeable manner

There are three main types of product defects that can be the basis of a product liability lawsuit in New Jersey:

Design defect: A design defect is a flaw in the design of the product that makes it unsafe, even when it is used properly.
Manufacturing defect: A manufacturing defect is a flaw in the manufacturing process that makes a product unsafe.
Failure to warn: A failure to warn defect occurs when a manufacturer or seller fails to provide adequate warnings about the dangers of using a product.

In addition to strict liability, New Jersey also recognizes a negligence theory of product liability. Under this theory, a plaintiff must prove that the manufacturer or seller of the product was negligent in designing, manufacturing, or selling the product.

New Jersey law also has a number of special provisions for product liability lawsuits. For example, New Jersey law has a statute of limitations of six years for product liability lawsuits. This means that a plaintiff must file a lawsuit within six years of the date of their injury.

New Jersey law also has a joint and several liability rule for product liability lawsuits. This means that a plaintiff can recover the full amount of their damages from any one defendant, even if that defendant is only partially responsible for the plaintiff's injuries.

If you have been injured by a defective product in New Jersey, you should contact an experienced product liability attorney to discuss your legal options."
