Types of Product Liability in Queens
In Queens, New York, product liability claims generally fall under three categories: design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions. Each type requires a different legal approach to prove that the manufacturer or seller is liable for the harm caused.
- Design Defects: These occur when a product's design is inherently unsafe.
- Manufacturing Defects: These are issues that arise during the production or assembly of a product, making it dangerous for use.
- Failure to Warn: This involves products that lack sufficient instructions or warnings about potential risks associated with their use.
Our experienced Brandon J. Broderick legal team provides the expertise needed to identify and pursue the right type of claim based on your case.
