Elements of a Product Liability Case that an Experienced Long Island Product Liability Lawyers from the Harrison Law Group, P.C. Can Help You With
No two product liability claims are the same. An experienced New York product liability lawyer will guide you in the best approach to take for your case. Some of the elements of a product liability case include:
Duty
Demonstrating duty is important in filing any personal injury claim. In a product liability claim, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers all have a responsibility to provide consumers with products that are safe for their use. Manufacturers are required to provide consumers with information about any precautions they should take when using the product. They should also place warnings on side effects or dangers in relation to using the product. Failing to provide an adequate warning on the dangers of the product is considered negligence.
Negligence
When manufacturers, distributors, or retailers fail to fulfill their duty to the consumer, they are considered negligent. A breach of duty may involve an error during manufacture, poor design, use of substandard parts, failure to provide an adequate warning on the dangers of the product, a malfunction of the product or even selling a damaged product to a consumer.

Breach of warranty
It is also possible for the victim to claim damages from the manufacturer or seller based on a breach of warranty. A warranty is an express or implied guarantee from the manufacturer or seller that the product will work in a certain way or will perform in accordance with a given standard. If the product fails and this results in an injury to the consumer, the manufacturer as well as the retailer can be held liable for the injuries suffered as a result of the use of the product. This is provided that the product was being used for its intended use.
Strict liability
It isn’t easy to prove that a manufacturer was negligent in designing or manufacturing a product. Strict liability does away with the need to prove that the manufacturer was at fault. This theory instead focuses on the product being dangerous in and of itself. In a strict liability claim, you will need to show that:
- the manufacturer or seller was responsible for manufacturing, distributing, or selling the product
- the product was defective and thus dangerous for use. You will also need to show that the defect caused the injury.
- The manufacturer did not provide adequate warning about the dangers of the product
- You did not alter the product in any way from how you purchased it when you used it.
It is important to discuss your case with an experienced attorney. They will guide you on the best way to approach your claim.

Read More ReviewsWhat is Personal Injury?
If you’re injured as a result of a negligent third party, you may be entitled to compensation due to the damages you’ve experienced — either directly through the responsible party or their insurance company. An experienced New York personal injury lawyer will focus on tort law while seeking economic and non-economic damages for their clients — whether or not the target is a multi-million dollar award.
Personal injuries are classified as injuries to the body, mind, and emotions of an individual. When you suffer an injury because of another party, you experience turmoil, and your quality of life will change. Some victims experience loss of enjoyment of life, and even depression.
It’s important to speak with mindful attorneys who have the wisdom to handle your case effectively. Personal injury suits are filed against individuals or entities that cause harm due to recklessness, negligence, misconduct, or liability.

Types of Personal Injury
Personal injuries can refer to injuries sustained due to dental malpractice, product liability, or assault claims, but they more commonly involve the following types of injuries:
Car Accidents
When your vehicle collides with another vehicle, a pedestrian, an animal, debris, or another stationary obstruction such as a tree, pole, or building, you may face significant injuries and expenses that often include medical treatment and vehicle repairs. Following a car accident that was no fault of your own, it is important to immediately begin working with a New York personal injury lawyer to seek fair and appropriate compensation.
Truck Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents involving a truck or tractor-trailer and caused by the recklessness of others will present additional complex factors that are not present in a regular car accident case. You can be certain that there will be attorneys representing the truck driver, which is why you should partner with a New York personal injury lawyer at our law office immediately.
Motorcycle Accidents
When your motorcycle is involved in a motor vehicle accident at no fault of your own, you will need help in your fight to be fairly compensated in your case. As a client of our law firm, you can be confident that we are bringing the fight to the insurance company.
Premises Liability
An injury from an accident caused by unsafe conditions on someone else’s property often involves a fall on a slippery or uneven surface. Other types of negligence or dangerous circumstances may also lead to an injury or death. In some cases, your accident could amount to a multi-million dollar settlement. Our law office of NY accident attorneys will be happy to guide you through this process as our client.
Dog Bite
Dog owners are generally determined to be liable if their dog hurts you or anyone else. New York personal injury law in this situation provides a means to seek compensation for your medical expenses, your pain and suffering, & much more.
Slip and Fall
A property owner could be liable for damages if you slip, trip, and fall on their property due to their negligence. Working with a qualified New York personal injury lawyer in this situation is important because the Queens, Nassau County, Suffolk County, or Long Island property owner that you file a claim against will certainly be represented by law firms who are trying to dismiss or settle your case for as little as possible.
Construction Accidents
An injury sustained due to working on a construction site can be life-changing or deadly. In many cases, such an injury will prevent your ability to continue working for some duration of time. Workers’ compensation is available for these types of accidents. Depending on the details of your case, you may also be able to file a lawsuit.
Wrongful Death
Death caused by negligence or intentional actions of another party is known as wrongful death. The NY accident attorneys at our law office are experienced in these cases and are ready to help you fight for the money you need.
Medical Malpractice
When you work with a licensed medical professional, you have every right to expect that they will take prudent and cautious steps to help you work towards a successful recovery. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. The New York personal injury attorneys at our law firm are ready to help you fight for fair compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Law
How soon should I seek medical assistance following a bodily injury in NY, and what can it mean for my case?
You should seek medical attention as soon as possible after your accident, even if you doubt your injuries are serious. Your post-accident medical report may play a key role in proving causation in your claim, which can help your personal injury attorney build a strong case.
How does “negligence” factor into my personal injury case in NY, and how is “negligence” defined?
Proving negligence is a central part of every NY personal injury claim. We’ll need to show that the responsible party breached their duty of reasonable care, which led to your injury. NY law also recognizes comparative negligence, so being partially at fault for your accident could reduce your compensation.
How can I know whether I have a personal injury case for damage to my reputation or mental/emotional anguish I have suffered that was caused by someone else in NY?
You may experience emotional distress, damage to your reputation, and physical injuries. Contact our personal injury law firm to find out whether you have grounds for a claim. We understand you need to be heard, so we’ll assess your case and suggest a legal strategy for your circumstances.
How likely is a personal injury case to settle before going to trial?
The vast majority of personal injury cases settle out of court. However, you can pursue a personal injury lawsuit if the insurance company denies your claim or makes an inadequate settlement offer.
What is a contingency fee in a NY personal injury case, and how can I know my attorney believes in my case?
At the Harrison Law Group, P.C., we represent personal injury victims on a contingency basis. It’s simple: you pay if and when we win. Contact us to schedule a free case consultation and strategy session with an experienced Long Island personal injury lawyer.
