It is important to note that there are time limits within which you must file a product liability claim in order to seek compensation. Under New Jersey law, a plaintiff has two years from the time they discover or reasonably should have discovered the cause of the injury, and some or all of the responsible parties, to file suit for personal injury damages. The one exception to this applies to minors. If the plaintiff was a minor at the time of the injury, the statute of limitations may be extended.
