How Michael F. Campopiano Can Help After a Product Injury in Massachusetts
Product liability cases in Boston and across Massachusetts are technically complex and often involve powerful multinational corporations with aggressive legal teams. These companies and their insurers work hard to deny that their products were defective, sometimes blaming the victim for “misusing” the item. In Massachusetts, product liability is largely governed by the “Implied Warranty of Merchantability,” which provides strong protections for consumers but requires a specific legal approach.
A Massachusetts product liability attorney at the Law Offices of Michael F. Campopiano can manage every aspect of your claim, including:
Identifying All Responsible Parties
Gathering Technical Evidence
Consulting Specialized Experts
Navigating Breach of Warranty Claims
Common Types of Product Liability Cases We Handle
Product liability occurs when a product is released into the market with a defect that makes it unsafe for its intended use. We handle a wide range of cases, including:
Manufacturing Defects
Design Defects
Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects)
Defective Auto Parts
Medical Device & Pharmaceutical Claims
Dangerous Consumer Goods
Understanding Massachusetts Product Liability Laws
Statute of Limitations
In Massachusetts, you generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a product liability lawsuit. For claims based on the breach of an express warranty (a specific promise made by the seller), the limit may be four years. Because evidence like the defective product itself can be lost or destroyed, it is critical to contact a lawyer immediately.
The “Implied Warranty of Merchantability”
Unlike many other states, Massachusetts does not have a separate “strict liability” tort. Instead, the law uses the implied warranty of merchantability. This is a legal promise that every product sold in Massachusetts is fit for its ordinary purposes. If a product is defective and injures you, the seller has breached this warranty and can be held liable regardless of whether they were “careless.”
Consumer Protection Act (Chapter 93A)
If a business knowingly sells a defective product or uses deceptive marketing, they may be in violation of the Massachusetts Consumer Protection Act. This powerful law allows victims to potentially recover double or triple damages, plus attorney’s fees, if the violation was willful and knowing.

Frequently Asked Questions from Massachusetts Product Liability Lawyer
Straight answers, no legalese. Still have a question? A real person answers, day or night.
Under the breach of implied warranty theory in Massachusetts, you generally do not have to prove the manufacturer was “careless.” You only need to prove that the product was defective and that the defect caused your injury while you were using the product as intended.
Yes. In Massachusetts, “privity of contract” is not required. You can seek compensation if you were injured by a defective product, even if it was a gift, a loaner, or something you used at work.
Massachusetts law requires sellers to anticipate “reasonably foreseeable” misuse. If your “misuse” was something a manufacturer should have predicted, you may still be able to recover damages. However, blatant misuse contrary to clear warnings may reduce or bar your recovery.
A recall is strong evidence that a product was defective, but it does not automatically win your case. You still must prove that the specific defect caused your actual injury. Conversely, the lack of a recall does not mean you don’t have a case.
You can recover economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, future care) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life). In some cases involving gross negligence, punitive damages may be available.
Any party in the “chain of distribution” can be sued, including the manufacturer of the finished product, manufacturers of component parts, wholesalers, and the retail store where the item was purchased.
