Frequently Asked Questions about Products Liability

Q: Who is responsible when a product causes an injury?

A: Manufacturers, wholesalers and sellers may all be responsible when a product injures someone. If the product is defective or it presents an unreasonable danger, and the defect or danger causes the injury, the injured party may have a case. The defendants can be found liable under theories of negligence, strict liability or breach of warranty.

Q: What kind of compensation or damages can be awarded in products liability cases?

A: Depending on the strength and the facts of the case, the plaintiff may recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. Punitive damages may be available if the defendant acted in a malicious or grossly negligent manner. The level of the award and its application depends on the state in which the litigation takes place.

In most states today, an injured person does not have to be the purchaser of the product in order to recover from the manufacturer or seller of the product under a product liability theory.


When you suffer an injury as a result of a defective or dangerous product, you are entitled to seek financial compensation under Florida's product liability laws. Our product liability attorneys have successfully represented clients injured by simple and sophisticated products. Injuries from defective and dangerous products can range from minor fractures and burns, to severe injuries including loss of eyesight, and amputation. In many product liability cases, a thorough investigation into where and why the defect occurred is necessary. Working with experienced product liability lawyers who have the resources and relationships to properly investigate and prosecute your product liability claim is your best chance for financial recovery.

Products Liability - An Overview

Defective and unreasonably dangerous products can cause serious injuries to adults and children alike. No one uses a product expecting it to break or fail; when a product's defect becomes apparent, it can take the user by surprise.

Luckily, products liability is a well-established area of the law. If you have been injured, consult with an experienced products liability attorney to discuss your options.

The federal government regulates some aspects of consumer product safety, but the laws affecting products liability litigation exist at the state level. Although the intricacies of these laws vary from state to state, the states share some overarching principles.

What Is Products Liability?

When a person uses a product in a reasonable manner and that product causes injury, the manufacturer, wholesaler or seller may be liable. Think of a hairdryer that emits a dangerous shock or a child's toy that contains small, sharp pieces: consumers should be able to use these products as they are intended to be used without worrying about being hurt. If you or a loved one has been injured by a product, consult with an experienced attorney to discuss your options.

Defective Products

Defective products can cause serious injury and even death. Defects can be traced to three main stages: when the product is designed, when the product is manufactured and when the consumer should receive instructions or warnings. If a product harmed you or a loved one, contact a products liability attorney to discuss your case.
