Hurt by a Defective Product?
You Do Not Have to Prove the Company Was Careless.
New York and New Jersey both recognize strict product liability, which means a manufacturer can be responsible for a defective product even without proof of negligence. Claims fall into three categories: a manufacturing defect in your specific unit, a design defect that makes an entire product line unreasonably dangerous, and a failure to warn about a known risk. These cases are won with preserved evidence and qualified engineering experts — so the single most important thing you can do is keep the product exactly as it is.
Why Choose Us
Why Injured Clients Choose Raytsin Law Firm PC
Evidence Preservation First
Do not return, repair, or discard the product. We issue preservation demands and arrange for secure storage and expert inspection.
Engineering and Testing Experts
We retain metallurgists, electrical engineers, fire cause-and-origin investigators, and human factors experts to establish the defect.
We Pursue the Full Chain
Manufacturers, component suppliers, importers, distributors, and retailers can all be liable. Foreign manufacturers do not get a free pass.
Recalls and Prior Complaints
We search CPSC, NHTSA, and FDA databases plus prior litigation for the pattern that shows the company already knew.
