Every product sold in America carries an implied promise of safety. When manufacturers cut corners, hide defects, or fail to warn users of known dangers — and people get hurt — Nueva York's strict product liability laws hold them accountable.
Potentially yes, but the product is critical evidence. If you still have it, preserve it exactly as-is — do not repair or alter it. If it's gone, we investigate through purchase records, product serial numbers, manufacturing logs, and any photos you have. Llámanos before assuming your case is lost.
Manufacturers must design products to account for reasonably foreseeable misuse — not just perfect use. If the injury resulted from a use that a reasonable person might attempt, the manufacturer may still be liable. Nueva York's comparative negligence law also means your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but not eliminated.
In Nueva York, liability in the chain of distribution can extend to retailers, distributors, and wholesalers in addition to manufacturers. This matters when the manufacturer is bankrupt, foreign, or otherwise hard to reach. We identify all defendants in the distribution chain.
No. Compliance with regulatory standards is evidence of reasonableness but not a complete defense in Nueva York. If the product was still unreasonably dangerous despite meeting standards, liability remains. We use engineering experts to prove the product could have been made safer at reasonable cost.
It depends on the severity of your injury, the strength of evidence of the defect, and the defendant's conduct. Products cases involving serious injuries regularly result in six and seven-figure recoveries. If the manufacturer showed reckless disregard for consumer safety, punitive damages may be available.
