New Jersey Motorcycle Defect Liability Attorney
Products liability law concerns the duty of manufacturers and sellers to make and sell products that are reasonably safe to consumers, this includes motorcycle manufacturers, foreign and domestic. Manufacturers owe this duty to direct users of the product, to reasonably foreseeable users of the product, and to those who may reasonably be expected to come into contact with the product. A successful products liability claims against a manufacturer proves that the product causing harm was not reasonably safe for its intended purposes. A product is not reasonably safe for its intended purpose because of:
a. a manufacturing defect; or
b. a failure to adequately warn or instruct; or
c. a design defect.
Therefore if a motorcycle, or a component part, is defective which makes it unreasonably safe for its intended use (that is, riding it) and a party is injured or harmed as a result, there may be basis to file a products liability claim.
If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident, you should do the following:
- Seek necessary medical care and preserve medical documentation of your injuries
- Report the accident to the police department and to your own insurance company
- Do not speak with the insurance company of the vehicle which hit you without first consulting with an attorney
- Contact an attorney as soon as possible to conduct an early investigation and preserve critical evidence
- Do not settle without first consulting with an attorney - especially when you consider that the insurance company is really your adversary and will not have your interests in mind in any negotiation process
