Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a product liability claim in Shirley Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, you generally have three years from the date of injury to file a product liability lawsuit. This time limit is set by Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 260 Section 2A. Missing this deadline can bar your claim.
What types of product defects can I claim in Massachusetts?
You can claim design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to provide adequate warnings or instructions. Massachusetts law follows strict liability for manufacturing defects, meaning you do not need to prove negligence.
Do I need to prove the company was careless to win a product liability case in Massachusetts?
Not always. For manufacturing defects, Massachusetts applies strict liability, so you only need to show the product was defective and caused your injury. For design defects or failure to warn, you may need to show a reasonable alternative design or that the warning was inadequate.
