Compensation Awards in New Jersey

Most of the products on the shelves of stores have been tested and retested for safety. However, there are occasions where a product in Plainfield is defective. If you or a family member has been harmed by a defective product, you may have a Products Liability case.

Laws Regarding Product Liability in New Jersey

Defective products are grouped into three different categories in New Jersey.

The first is known as "manufacturing defects." These defects exist when a product is of sound design, but was assembled or built improperly. For example, the design of an electric saw might include an emergency shutoff switch. If this switch was installed improperly, and therefore didn't work, this would be an example of a manufacturing defect.

The second type are design defects. Design defects are found when the plans off of which the products are built are faulty themselves. If, for example, a thermos called for too thin of a material to be used, and hot liquids spilled out and burned the user, this would be a design defect.
