Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time limit to file a product liability lawsuit in East Rochester?
In New York, the statute of limitations for product liability claims is typically three years from the date of injury. If the injury is discovered later, the clock may start from the discovery date. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovering compensation.
What types of product defects can I claim in New York?
New York law recognizes three main types of product defects: design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn. Design defects make a product inherently unsafe. Manufacturing defects occur during production. Failure to warn means the product lacked adequate instructions or safety warnings.
Do I need to prove the manufacturer was negligent in a product liability case?
Not always. New York allows strict liability claims, meaning you do not have to prove negligence if the product was defective and the defect caused your injury. However, you must show the product was used as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way.
