NEW JERSEY PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWYERS
Levinson Axelrod specializes in representing clients who have been seriously injured due to defective products in New Jersey. No one should be at risk for serious injury or death due to a defective product at home or in the workplace. Bringing suits of this sort against manufacturers benefit not only the victim, but all consumers by ensuring safety in products we rely on or play with.
Motor vehicles, household appliances, and children's toys are some of the many products that are recalled each year for causing serious injuries to unsuspecting consumers. Levinson Axelrod is "The Personal Injury Law Firm" who helps clients fight back with cases handled by an experienced team of certified civil trial lawyers (a status held by only 1% of New Jersey's lawyers) and product liability professionals.
Manufacturers and their agents are obligated to provide consumers with products that are safe when used in a reasonable manner.
Manufacturers are also obligated to market their product responsibly. This means that, although a product may be safe if used for a specific purpose, it could be hazardous if used under different circumstances. In that case, the product must include clear, visible and concise warnings outlining the danger and its consequence.
The most common claim against a manufacturer is usually referred to as a "strict product liability" claim. If you file a strict product liability claim against a manufacturer, you may not have to prove that the manufacturer was "negligent" (necessary in most other injury claims) but you may have to establish the following:
- The product was, in fact, defective.
- The defect existed prior to the manufacturer releasing the product.
- The defect caused your damages.
If you have been injured due to a defective product, make sure you do the following:
- Keep the product and anything related to it, such as packaging, instructions, receipts, etc.
- Take photographs of the product and the accident scene.
- Verify that you were using the defective product in accordance with the manufacturer's written instructions.
- Gather the names and phone numbers of any witnesses to be contacted by your attorney at a later date.
- Seek medical attention immediately.
Always research a product before you purchase it and never gamble with your safety. If a product looks "too good", or it's "too cheap", it could be defective!
