Understanding Product Liability in New York
Product liability law in New York is designed to protect consumers from unsafe or faulty products. When a company places a product into the hands of consumers, that product must be manufactured correctly, properly labeled, and designed with safety in mind. If a product is defective in its design, manufacturing, or labeling, and that defect leads to injury, then the responsible party may be held liable under strict liability or negligence standards.
Unlike other personal injury claims, product liability cases do not always require you to prove that a company was negligent. Under strict liability, you must only show that the product was defective and that the defect caused your injury. These claims can involve complex legal issues, so having a knowledgeable personal injury attorney by your side is essential.
Common Types of Product Defects That Cause Injury
Defective products can result from several types of errors or oversights. The three main types of defects involved in product liability claims include design defects, manufacturing errors, and marketing defects (also known as failure to warn). Design defects occur when a product is inherently unsafe due to a flaw in its blueprint or concept. Manufacturing errors happen when a product is built incorrectly, even if the design was sound. Failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions can also make a product dangerous.
Dangerous and defective products can lead to serious injuries, including burns, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, internal injuries, and even wrongful death. Injuries caused by faulty products often require extensive medical care, prolonged recovery, and time away from work, creating emotional, physical, and financial stress for the injured party and their family.
How Our Law Firm Builds a Strong Case
At Brown Chiari LLP, we take a focused approach to product liability cases. Our legal team begins with a detailed investigation to gather evidence and determine how the product defect occurred. We work closely with experts in engineering, product safety, and medical care to analyze the circumstances, collect medical records, and demonstrate how the defective product caused injury.
Every product liability case is unique. Whether the injury was caused by a vehicle defect, unsafe equipment, defective medical device, or dangerous household item, our attorneys work to identify all responsible parties, including manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. We then prepare a strong case designed to pursue the best possible outcome, whether through settlement or litigation in court.
We also guide our clients through every phase of the legal process, from initial consultation to trial preparation—offering clear communication and supportive legal services every step of the way.
Compensation Available in a Product Liability Case
Victims of defective products may be entitled to recover compensation for a wide range of damages. These may include:
- Medical expenses related to emergency care, surgeries, and long-term treatment
- Lost wages due to time away from work or reduced ability to earn a living
- Pain and suffering resulting from physical injuries and emotional distress
- Cost of rehabilitation, medical equipment, or home modifications
- Future medical needs for long-term injuries or permanent disability
In cases involving wrongful death, surviving family members may file a product liability lawsuit to recover funeral costs, loss of income, and other economic damages. Our team works to ensure that every client receives full compensation that reflects the true cost of the injuries suffered.
We take product liability claims on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no legal fees unless we win compensation for you. Our law firm is committed to helping clients in Tonawanda NY and Buffalo NY recover from these traumatic incidents with the legal support and guidance they need.
