Products Liability

Everyday, we hear of people being injured because of defective products. The news has been filled with allegations of adulterated and dangerous products manufactured in China. While you may know that you have been injured due to a faulty product, you need an experienced product liability lawyer to investigate and prove your personal injury claim. Manufacturers, retailers, and distributors can be held responsible to pay for costs incurred by injuries that are a result of a product defect.

In Florida, product liability claims may be brought based upon theories of strict liability, negligence, or breach of warranty. Common examples of product defects include:

  • Failure to design a product that performs safely.
  • Manufacturing defects.
  • Inadequate warnings regarding a product’s use.
  • Unexplained failure of a product during normal use.

Although workers’ compensation laws prevent injured workers in Florida from suing their employers when they are injured on the job,a claim can be brought against the manufacturer or distributor of the defective product that caused your injury.
