Preservation of the defective product itself (most important step — do not return it, discard it, or accept a refund). Original packaging, instructions, warranty, receipt. Photos of the injury and the failure mode. Recall notices and prior complaints to CPSC.
Manufacturer insurers are sophisticated. We document the defect theory (design / manufacturing / warning) and the alternative-feasible-design where applicable before approaching.
Products cases require materials-science or engineering experts and can require destructive testing of the failed product. We coordinate testing protocols with the manufacturer's counsel to preserve admissibility.
Cada caso es distinto. Los daños recuperables dependen de tus lesiones, el seguro disponible, y los hechos de tu caso.
NY products-liability personal-injury claims have a 3-year SOL (New York civil procedure rule 214). Muerte por negligencia from a defective product: 2 years from date of death. Toxic-tort / latent-injury claims may follow New York civil procedure rule 214-c (3 years from discovery of injury and cause).
NY recognizes (1) defective design — the product as designed is unreasonably dangerous; (2) manufacturing defect — the specific unit deviated from spec; (3) failure to warn — inadequate warnings of foreseeable risks. Strict liability applies to manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in the chain of distribution (strict products liability under NY law).
El paso más importante después de la lesión es preservar el producto defectuoso en su condición tal como causó la lesión. No lo devuelva a la tienda, no acepte un reemplazo bajo garantía, no lo tire. Photograph it, bag it, and llámanos. Spoliation of the key evidence can sink an otherwise strong case.
