Experienced Products Liability Attorneys in New Jersey

Top Rated Defective Products Injury Law Firm

A design defect is a flaw in the original blueprint of a product which causes it to be unreasonably dangerous and creates a hazard for potential users. This type of defect will typically be found in all of the manufactured products. Three questions are asked to determine whether a design defect exists.

1. Was the product’s design unreasonably dangerous prior to production?
2. Was it plausible to anticipate the design of the product could harm a potential user?
3. Could the manufacturer have used a superior design which was economically feasible and which would not alter the purpose of the product?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, the injured party may have grounds for a products liability claim and should contact one of our New Jersey attorneys as soon as possible.

Types of Defective Design Claims

• Automotive Defects
  Defective airbags, defective door latches, unstable vehicles, seat belts, seat backs, post-collision fuel-fed fires, defective tires, and other manufacturing and design defects can case motor vehicle accidents with severe and even fatal consequences. When a vehicle is traveling at a high speed, every car part needs to work correctly. But when a part has been defective since it left the factory floor, serious and potentially fatal accidents can occur.
• Defective Medical Equipment
  When manufacturers place defective products on the market and promote those products to doctors and patients, those companies have a responsibility to make the product safe for its intended use. Some of the more common devices include heart valves, pacemakers, prosthetic knee and hip devices, ventilators, x-ray machines, biopsy equipment, ultrasound, and infusion pumps.

Types of Defective Design Injuries
