Understanding Product Liability in New York

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and others in the supply chain for injuries caused by defective or dangerous products. In New York, product liability law allows injured consumers to file product liability claims when a product’s defect results in harm, regardless of whether the manufacturer acted negligently. This legal principle is known as strict liability.

There are several types of product defects that may lead to a product liability lawsuit, including design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn (also known as marketing defects). Design defects occur when a product is inherently dangerous even if it is manufactured correctly. Manufacturing defects happen when an error in the production process results in a product that is unreasonably dangerous. In either case, if an injury occurs, the injured party may be able to recover damages through a personal injury claim.

Common Types of Product Liability Cases in Lancaster

Brown Chiari LLP handles all types of product liability cases in Lancaster County and across New York. Our firm represents clients injured by defective medical devices, auto parts, electronics, children’s toys, industrial tools, and household appliances. We also handle cases involving defective drugs and recalled products monitored by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Product liability accidents can lead to significant harm, including burns, electrocution, choking, traumatic brain injuries, or even fatal injuries. Many of these cases involve products that failed during ordinary use and violated consumer safety standards. Our product liability law firm investigates these incidents thoroughly to determine who in the supply chain can be held liable.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Product Liability Claim?

Multiple responsible parties may be held strictly liable for injuries caused by a dangerous or defective product. These include the product manufacturer, component part suppliers, distributors, and retailers. In some cases, the entire supply chain may share liability for the injuries caused. Product liability law in New York allows injured consumers to pursue compensation even if the product was manufactured years ago, as long as the injury occurred within the statute of limitations.

Determining who is held responsible in a product liability case often requires expert analysis of the product’s design, manufacturing process, and warnings provided to consumers. Our Lancaster product liability attorneys work with engineers, safety experts, and medical professionals to build strong cases for our clients.

What Compensation Is Available for Defective Product Injuries?

Victims of defective products in Lancaster may be entitled to recover money for a wide range of damages, including medical bills, medical expenses, lost wages, future lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other non economic damages. In cases involving wrongful death, surviving family members may be able to file a claim for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and other economic damages.

At Brown Chiari LLP, our goal is to help injured clients recover maximum compensation for the full extent of their injuries and losses. Product liability litigation often involves complex legal and factual issues, and our team has the legal experience and trial experience necessary to handle even the most challenging cases.
