NYC Product Liability Lawyer
Holding manufacturers accountable for dangerous products
Experienced Product Liability Representation
Every day, we trust that the products we use are safe. When defective products cause injuries, victims deserve compensation and manufacturers must be held accountable. Product liability law protects consumers by making companies responsible for injuries caused by dangerous or defective products.
Product liability cases can involve defective cars and auto parts, dangerous drugs and medical devices, defective machinery and tools, unsafe children's products, defective household appliances, and toxic substances. These cases often require extensive investigation, expert testimony, and taking on large corporations with vast legal resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of product defects can lead to liability?
Product defects fall into three categories: design defects (inherently dangerous design), manufacturing defects (error in production), and marketing defects (inadequate warnings or instructions). Any of these can make a manufacturer, distributor, or retailer liable for injuries.
Do I need to prove the manufacturer was negligent?
No. Product liability is strict liability—you don't need to prove negligence, only that the product was defective and caused your injuries. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring their products are safe, regardless of how careful they were.
Who can be held liable in a product liability case?
All parties in the distribution chain may be liable: manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers. We identify all potentially liable parties to maximize your compensation.
What compensation can I recover in a product liability case?
You may recover medical expenses, future medical care, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and in cases of egregious conduct, punitive damages to punish the manufacturer.
How long do I have to file a product liability lawsuit?
In New York, the statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of injury. However, there's also a discovery rule for latent injuries—the clock may start when you discover (or should have discovered) the injury was caused by a defective product.
