What Product Liability Means in Queens, NY
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility that manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have when a product is defectively designed, defectively manufactured, or marketed without adequate warnings or instructions. Under New York law, a plaintiff may pursue a claim based on strict liability, negligence, or breach of warranty. These theories allow the injured party to seek compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages without needing to prove that the defendant intended to cause harm.
In Queens, product liability lawsuits are initiated in New York Supreme Court, Queens County, which has unlimited original jurisdiction over civil matters. The court is located at 88-11 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica and serves the entire borough. Because these cases often involve complex technical and scientific evidence, thorough investigation and early preparation are essential. Our firm works with engineering attorneys, medical attorney, and accident reconstruction professionals—never referred to as attorneys—to build a record that supports each client’s claim.
In New York, a product liability claim for personal injury must generally be filed within three years of the date of injury.

How Mr. Sris and the Firm’s Of Counsel Attorneys Handle Product Liability Cases
An effective product liability case begins with an immediate and careful investigation. The firm collects the defective product, secures its chain of custody, and obtains all relevant design and manufacturing records. We work with consulting attorneys to identify whether the defect is a design flaw, a manufacturing error, or a failure to warn. Once liability is analyzed, we calculate the full extent of the client’s damages, including future medical care and diminished earning capacity, so that any settlement demand or verdict accurately reflects the harm suffered.
Throughout the litigation, we manage discovery, depositions, and motion practice, always aiming to position the case favorably for trial while remaining prepared to resolve the matter through negotiation when that serves the client’s interest. The firm’s personal injury practice, including product liability matters, is typically handled on a contingency-fee basis; clients pay no attorney’s fees unless we obtain a recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is product liability?
Product liability is the area of law that holds manufacturers, distributors, and sellers responsible when a defective product causes injury. New York recognizes claims for design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn. The injured person does not need to show the defendant was negligent if the product was unreasonably dangerous. For guidance on your specific situation, reach Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. at (888) 437-7747.
What types of product defects can cause injury?
A product can be defective in its design, in how it was made, or because it lacked adequate warnings or instructions. A design defect exists when the product is inherently unsafe; a manufacturing defect arises when a product leaves the assembly line incorrectly; and a marketing defect occurs when risks are not properly communicated. To discuss the details of your matter, contact Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. at (888) 437-7747.
How long do I have to file a product liability lawsuit in Queens, NY?
In New York, you generally have three years from the date of your injury to file a product liability claim. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your case. Special rules or shorter notice periods may apply if a government entity is involved. For a consultation, reach Mr. Sris and the firm’s Of Counsel attorneys at (888) 437-7747.
Do I need a lawyer for a defective product injury claim?
While you are not legally required to have an attorney, product liability cases involve complex factual and legal issues that make experienced representation important. Proving a design or manufacturing defect often requires expert testimony and technical evidence that is difficult to manage alone. A lawyer can evaluate the strength of your claim and negotiate with insurers on your behalf. To discuss your options, call (888) 437-7747.
What compensation can I recover in a product liability case?
You may recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related losses. New York applies pure comparative fault, meaning your recovery is reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you, but you can still recover as long as you are not entirely at fault.
