What types of product defects can I claim in Ship Bottom?
Product liability claims in New Jersey cover three defect types: design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn. For example, a boat part sold at a Ship Bottom marina might have a design flaw, or a power tool could have a manufacturing error that causes injury.
Do I need to prove the manufacturer was negligent in New Jersey?
No. New Jersey follows strict liability for product defects. You do not need to prove negligence. You must show the product was defective and that the defect caused your injury while the product was used as intended.
