Disputes in consumer goods and retail often stem from product liability, supply chain breaches, regulatory non-compliance, and customer-facing claims that can escalate into costly litigation.The core challenge for retailers and manufacturers is that multiple statutory regimes and common law standards apply simultaneously, each with its own burden of proof, discovery scope, and defense posture.

Civil Suit for Car Accident: Choosing Lawsuits over Claims
No-Fault covers medical expenses and part of your lost earnings regardless of who caused the accident. It does not cover pain and suffering, and it stops at the policy limit. What a lawsuit adds is non-economic loss — available only if the serious injury threshold is met — and economic loss above the No-Fault limit. Losses within No-Fault generally cannot be pursued in tort. For actions commenced on or after May 26, 2026, two changes affect what is recoverable.Section 5104(a) reorders the trial. Fault is determined before the serious injury question, and no liability for non-economic loss attaches until a serious injury is found. Section 5104(d) caps non-economic loss at $100,000 in a narrow set of cases: an at-fault operator who was driving uninsured, or who was impaired and convicted, or who was committing a felony and convicted of it. The cap reaches operators only — not passengers, pedestrians, or cyclists — and it does not apply where the injuries resulted in death. Separately, the serious injury threshold itself narrowed. The 90/180-day category was removed from § 5102(d) for actions commenced on or after the same date. And recovery can now be barred entirely. CPLR § 1411(b) prevents recovery in these cases where the claimant's fault exceeds the defendant's — an exception to the pure comparative fault rule that still governs other personal injury actions.The commencement date controls, not the date of the accident.
