Q: What is the statute of limitations for a product liability claim in Mercer County?
Yes. New Jersey law gives you 2 years from the date of injury to file a product liability lawsuit. This deadline applies to claims under the Products Liability Act (N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-1). Missing this deadline bars your claim permanently.
Q: Do I need to prove the manufacturer was negligent?
No. New Jersey applies strict liability to product defect claims. You only need to show the product was defective and caused your injury. You do not need to prove the manufacturer acted carelessly or knew about the defect.
Q: What types of damages can I recover in a product liability case?
It depends. You may recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. New Jersey does not cap personal injury damages. Punitive damages may be available if the manufacturer acted with knowing disregard for safety.
Q: What is the difference between a design defect and a manufacturing defect?
A design defect means the product’s design is inherently unsafe for its intended use. A manufacturing defect means the product deviated from its intended design during production. Both are actionable under N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-2.
Q: Can I sue if I was partially at fault for my injury?
It depends. New Jersey applies modified comparative fault. You can recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover.
