Understanding the Problems:
Defective products—from malfunctioning medical devices to automotive parts—can result in devastating injuries, mounting medical bills, and lifelong disabilities. If these claims go unchecked:
Industry Cover-Ups: Manufacturers may hide test failures, alter design documents, or refuse recalls.
Complex Liability Chains: Multiple parties—designers, suppliers, retailers—each shift blame to avoid responsibility.
Insurance Tactics: Insurers undercut claims, dispute causation, and exploit technical defenses.

Pennsylvania & New Jersey Product Liability Laws
While both Pennsylvania and New Jersey provide robust legal protections for dangerous product victims, there are notable differences that can affect your case:
Liability Standards:
Pennsylvania: Adopts Restatement (Second) of Torts §402A for strict liability; also recognizes negligence and warranty claims.
New Jersey: Similar strict liability framework, but allows comparative fault reductions in design-defect cases.
Comparative Fault Rules:
PA (Pure): You recover damages even if you are partially at fault; your percentage of fault reduces the award.
NJ (Modified): Barred from recovery if your fault exceeds 50%.
Statutes of Limitations:
PA: 2 years from injury/discovery.
NJ: 2 years from injury; latent-defect extensions possible.
Damage Caps & Repose:
Neither state imposes caps on economic damages in general product claims; specific repose rules may apply to certain industries (e.g., agricultural equipment).
Notice Requirements:
PA: No pre-suit notice for private defendants; 6 months for government entities under Tort Claims Act.
NJ: No formal pre-suit notice for private suits; 90 days for public-entity claims.
