Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a product liability lawsuit in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a product liability lawsuit. This is called the statute of limitations. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation.
What types of product defects can I claim in Raritan?
You can claim for design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn. New Jersey follows strict liability, meaning you do not need to prove negligence, only that the product was defective and caused your injury.
Can I sue if I modified the product before it hurt me?
New Jersey law allows defendants to argue comparative negligence or product misuse. If you altered the product in a way that caused the injury, your compensation may be reduced or denied. A lawyer can evaluate your specific situation.
