Trusted New Jersey lawyers provide a thorough approach and honest assessment of claims
The legal strategy appropriate for the case brought against you will depend on the strength of claims made by plaintiffs. Products liability cases are typically complex, with outcomes based on issues such as:
- Proof of defect
- Knowledge of defect
- Lack of care in use of product
- Extent of warranty coverage
- Causal relationship between product and injury
- Compliance with filing deadlines
Each state has a statute of limitations for filing products liability claims, limiting the amount of time that a plaintiff has to bring a lawsuit. That time begins when the injury allegedly occurred or should have been discovered. If they miss this window of opportunity, plaintiffs lose their right to recover compensation for injuries.
The attorneys at Law Offices of Peter N. Laub Jr. & Associates, L.L.C take a detail-oriented approach to developing your defense, tackling your case from all angles. We interview witnesses, retain experts, examine all warning labels and packaging connected with the product, and make our recommendations to clients based upon our findings. We will provide you with an honest assessment of the products liability claim against you and decide whether to negotiate a settlement or defend your interests in court.
Experienced attorneys handle difficult medical device claims
Many surgeries involve the implantation of medical devices, such as artificial hips and knees, stents, defibrillators, and pacemakers, to bring about successful outcomes. All surgical procedures involve risks, and in rare instances a patient may experience complications or continued illness following the implantation of such a device. When a products liability claim against the manufacturer of the device results, we thoroughly review evidence and advise clients on their legal exposure and the legal path we recommend. We know the stringent requirements these products must meet to get FDA approval and we are intimately familiar with New Jersey restrictions on lawsuits related to federally approved medical devices. Armed with that knowledge, we will present a strong and detailed defense designed to protect your interests.
