Queens Product Liability Lawyers Standing Up for Consumers
You buy a product believing it will make life easier — a tool to build with, a car to drive safely, or medicine to help you heal. You never expect it to explode, fail, or poison you. But for too many people in Queens, that is exactly what happens.
Faulty electronics, unsafe toys, defective medical devices, and contaminated food have left thousands injured across New York each year. The corporations that made and sold these products often hide behind lawyers and insurance companies, hoping victims will give up.
At The Injury Group, our Queens product liability attorneys do not back down. We investigate every detail, expose corporate negligence, and demand justice for the people who trusted a product that betrayed them.
The Reality of Product Defects in Queens
Queens is a hub of commerce — from bustling markets in Flushing to major retailers in Astoria and Long Island City. With so many products changing hands daily, defective goods can spread quickly through homes, hospitals, and workplaces.
New York law gives consumers the right to hold manufacturers, distributors, and sellers accountable when a product causes harm. You do not have to prove they intended to hurt you — only that the product was unsafe and caused your injuries.
Our firm has helped clients injured by everything from exploding batteries to recalled vehicles. We have taken on large pharmaceutical companies, appliance manufacturers, and medical device corporations — and we know what it takes to win.
Types of Product Defects Recognized Under New York Law
-
Defective Design. A design defect means the product was dangerous from the very beginning. Every unit that leaves the factory shares the same flaw, like an SUV model prone to rollover or a pressure cooker without adequate release mechanisms. Our attorneys use engineering and expert analysis to prove a safer design was available and ignored.
-
Manufacturing Errors. These defects occur during production, turning a safe design into a dangerous product. A batch of medication might be contaminated, or a single bolt left loose on a power tool could cause an accident. We investigate assembly records, batch testing logs, and safety audits to pinpoint exactly where and how the error happened.
-
Failure to Warn. Some products are only safe when used correctly, but manufacturers must clearly explain how. Missing or confusing labels, unclear instructions, or warnings buried in fine print can all lead to tragedy. We compare your product’s packaging to safety standards and prove you were never properly warned.
Each defect represents a choice — a decision to cut corners, save money, or rush a product to market. When that choice causes harm, we make sure the responsible company pays.
Common Products That Cause Serious Injuries
-
Automobiles and Car Parts. Defective tires, brakes, and airbags have led to thousands of crashes across Queens. Our legal team works with accident reconstruction experts to show how a single faulty component caused the collision and injuries.
-
Medical Devices and Drugs. From hernia mesh to hip implants, unsafe medical products can devastate lives. When manufacturers release defective medical devices or fail to disclose side effects, we bring in medical experts to prove the link between the product and your injury.
-
Household Appliances. Everyday items like coffee makers, dryers, and charging cables can cause fires, burns, or electrocution when poorly made. We trace manufacturing defects and hold companies accountable for selling products that never met safety standards.
-
Children’s Products. When defective cribs, strollers, or toys harm children, the emotional toll is immeasurable. We pursue full justice for families and use product recalls and safety data to show the manufacturer knew the risk.
-
Industrial Equipment. Faulty construction tools, harnesses, and lifts can lead to catastrophic workplace injuries. Our team often combines product liability with work injury claims to recover full compensation for workers hurt by unsafe equipment.
Dangerous products show up everywhere — in homes, workplaces, and stores throughout Queens. Our job is to trace the danger back to its source and make it answer for your injuries.
Who Can Be Held Responsible for a Defective Product
Liability often extends far beyond the company that made the item. Several parties may share blame:
-
Manufacturers. They design and produce the product, often making critical safety decisions. Our lawyers review design blueprints, testing results, and internal memos to show that safety was sacrificed for profit.
-
Distributors and Wholesalers. These middle companies are responsible for inspecting and safely storing products before they reach consumers. When they ignore visible damage or warnings, they can be held accountable.
-
Retailers. Stores that sell defective items are not shielded from responsibility. Retailers have a duty to ensure the products they sell are safe and have not been recalled. We use transaction records and witness testimony to prove the chain of distribution.
-
Testing or Certification Companies. Independent labs that approve products for sale must do so honestly. If they rushed testing or ignored red flags, they can also be included in your lawsuit.
The Injury Group builds cases that target every responsible link in the supply chain, maximizing your chance of full recovery.
What to Do After Being Injured by a Defective Product in Queens, NY
If a product has hurt you or someone you love, what you do next is crucial.
-
Keep the Product and Packaging. Do not throw anything away. The product itself is vital evidence, and our experts can identify exactly what went wrong and who is to blame.
-
Seek Medical Care Immediately. Even if you think your injury is minor, get examined right away. Early medical documentation helps prove the direct connection between the defect and your harm.
-
Photograph Everything. Take detailed photos of your injuries, the product, and where the incident happened. These images can show how a defect caused a real-world impact.
-
Collect Receipts and Warranty Information. Proof of purchase connects you to the product and verifies where it was bought. This helps establish which retailer or distributor may also be liable.
-
Call The Injury Group. Our Queens product liability attorneys will move quickly to preserve evidence, notify manufacturers, and stop corporations from destroying documents or recalling the defective product to cover up liability.
Act fast — companies often begin their defense the moment an injury is reported.
Compensation We Pursue for Victims of Product Defects
At The Injury Group, we fight to make sure you receive every dollar the law allows. Compensation can include:
-
Medical Costs and Future Care. This includes emergency treatment, surgeries, medication, therapy, and long-term rehabilitation. We consult medical experts to estimate your lifetime care needs so that the settlement covers the full cost of recovery.
-
Lost Income and Earning Power. Many victims cannot return to work or lose advancement opportunities because of their injuries. We calculate both your immediate wage losses and the future income you would have earned had the injury never occurred.
-
Pain, Suffering, and Emotional Distress. Physical pain is only part of the story. Anxiety, trauma, and the emotional burden of losing your independence are equally real. We make sure those invisible losses are recognized in every claim.
-
Permanent Disability or Disfigurement. If a defect causes lasting harm or scarring, the value of your claim increases significantly. We ensure that insurers do not minimize how these injuries alter your life and your confidence.
-
Loss of Enjoyment and Companionship. Injuries often affect relationships, family activities, and hobbies. We work with you and your loved ones to describe these changes in detail, painting a full picture of your suffering.
-
Wrongful Death Damages. Families who lose a loved one because of a dangerous product may recover for funeral expenses, loss of income, and the profound emotional void that remains.
-
Punitive Damages. When a company knowingly sells unsafe products or conceals warnings, we demand punitive damages to punish and deter that behavior. These cases send a powerful message to corporate America that negligence will not be tolerated.
We measure success not just by the compensation we win but by the peace of mind we restore to our clients.
