Types of Product Liability Lawsuits Our Qualified New Jersey Defective Product Lawyer Handle in New Jersey

In New Jersey, the most common types of products liability lawsuits that our New Jersey Defective Product Lawyer handle include:

• Products with design defects
• Products with manufacturing defects
• Products with warning or marketing defects

The Plaintiff’s Burden of Proof 

To bring a product liability lawsuit, a plaintiff would need to prove that they suffered an injury caused by a product defect. They would also need to prove that this injury caused them financial or bodily harm (this can include emotional harm).

In any type of product liability lawsuit, the burden of proof rests upon the plaintiff to prove that the defect in the product existed. It must also be proven that use of the product was unreasonably dangerous even if the product was used as intended. It is also important to show that the defect in the product was not obvious to a reasonable person before they used it.

Standards of Proof in Product Liability Accidents in New Jersey

In New Jersey, each type of product liability lawsuit has its own standard of proof. This is set forth in the relevant New Jersey statute, The New Jersey Product Liability Act (Section 2A: 58C-1).

Products with design defects

The standard of proof in a legal claim that a product has design defects is that the product could have been designed in a way that minimized its potential harm. While this appears to be a straightforward concept, you need to discuss the exact facts of your case with an experienced product liability legal team, as there are exceptions to this and every standard of proof in product liability accidents.

Products with manufacturing defects

The standard of proof involving products with manufacturing defects is also generally straightforward. The plaintiff would argue that the product in issue deviated from the manufacturer’s design specifications. It could also be argued that the product in issue differed from the same products that were produced according to the same specifications or standards.

Products with warning or marketing defects

This is a more complex area as part of marketing, by nature, involves saying things about products that seek to shine the best possible light on how we see them. The standard of proof here is that the product did not include any warning or a type of warning that a reasonable person would have included with this or a similar product. This reasonableness standard is always a challenging one to prove – another reason why any product liability case should be in the hands of experienced product liability attorneys such as the team at Hartman Duff, LLC.

Product liability cases can be complex, particularly because they are often on such a large scale. What is at issue for the manufacturer is not one or one hundred products, but potentially millions of products that have entered the market and are already in use by the public.
