Understanding Product Liability Claims

Defective products can cause serious injuries that affect your health, finances, and daily life. These cases typically fall under one of three categories:

• Design defects - fundamental flaws in the product's initial design
• Manufacturing defects - errors that occur during production
• Marketing defects - inadequate instructions, warnings, or improper labeling

You may have grounds for a product liability claim if you've experienced:

• Injuries while using a product as intended
• Harm from a product lacking proper safety warnings
• Health problems from medication with undisclosed side effects
• Burns or electrocution from malfunctioning devices
• Injuries from products that don't meet safety standards

Product liability cases need careful investigation and technical knowledge. Our legal team collaborates with industry experts to determine how the product failed and who is responsible. We handle the legal complexities so you can focus on healing.

Common questions

How long do I have to file a product liability claim in Florida?

In Florida, you generally have four years from the date of injury to file a product liability lawsuit. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as when the injury isn't immediately discoverable. Additionally, if the defective product caused a wrongful death, the statute of limitations is two years. It's crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury to ensure your claim is filed within the appropriate timeframe.

What types of compensation can I recover in a product liability case?

Victims in product liability cases may be eligible for various forms of compensation, including medical expenses (both current and future), lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and in some cases, punitive damages intended to punish particularly egregious manufacturer conduct. The specific compensation available depends on the details of your case, the severity of your injuries, and the impact on your life.

Do I need to prove the manufacturer was negligent in my product liability case?

Not necessarily. Florida recognizes several theories of liability in product defect cases. Under strict liability, you don't need to prove negligence—only that the product was defective and that defect caused your injury while you were using the product as intended. Other liability theories include negligence (failure to exercise reasonable care) and breach of warranty. The specific approach depends on the circumstances of your case, which is why working with an experienced product liability attorney is essential.
