The statute of limitations on most product liability claims in New York State is three years after the date the injury occurred, or the date of injury discovery (if different).
Generally, to prove product liability you must prove that an inherent defect or misinformation within the product caused the damages claimed. In other words, the plaintiff must prove that the product was inherently defective and that the defect in the product has caused injury or damage.
Your lawyer must establish a direct link between the breach of duty (defective product) and the injuries that you sustained. The attorney must show that the defect was a substantial factor in causing the harm, connecting the defendant's actions or omissions to the resulting injuries.
There are three types of product defects: design defects, manufacturing defects, and warning/instruction defects. All three types of defects have to do with a product being faulty or inadequate in some way.
Depending on the type of case or procedure, New York's statutes of limitations generally range from one (1) year to six (6) years.
To successfully sue for a defective product, you need to prove that: The defendant designed, manufactured, distributed or sold a defective product to the consumer. The consumer used reasonable care when using the product. The consumer was injured due to the defect in the product.
In New York, the statute of limitations for product liability cases typically spans three years from the date of injury, or three years from the date of the discovery of the injury caused by a defective product.
The statute of limitations for product liability cases varies by state but is generally from two to six years.
