Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to prove negligence in a defective product case?
Not always. New York law allows strict liability, meaning companies may be held responsible even without proof of negligence.
Can I sue both the manufacturer and retailer?
Yes. Manufacturers, distributors, and sellers can all be held accountable under product liability laws.
What if my defective product was recalled?
A recall does not eliminate liability. In fact, it can strengthen your case.
How long do I have to file a defective product claim in New York?
Generally three years from the date of injury, though deadlines vary in medical device and drug cases.
