Defective Products

Product liability law refers to those who make available products to the public, and their responsibility for any injuries those products cause. This group includes manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and others. The resulting claims, whether stated as negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty, typically arise from either a manufacturing or design defect or a failure to warn of the dangers associated with a product.

Examples of defective product cases include:

  • Motor Vehicle Defects such as defective tires and unsafe SUVs (prone to SUV rollover)
  • Defective Workplace Machinery including punch presses, nail guns, and other manufacturing or construction equipment
  • Dangerous Pharmaceuticals
  • Medical Devices such as heart monitors and surgical screws
  • Defective Boats, Airplanes, Motorcycles, and ATVs

Because manufacturers have so much at stake in the marketing and sale of their products, they will mount a vigorous defense using what may seem like unlimited resources to do so. Therefore, we believe it is important that a person injured by a defective product hire lawyers who are experienced, aggressive and have the resources to investigate and litigate such injury claims.

Our lawyers have litigated a wide range of products liability cases in both Florida and Federal Courts. These cases, involving matters such automobile seat back and seat belt design, medical devices, liquid propane (LP Gas) regulators, food products and product packaging, have provided the lawyers in our Jacksonville and Tallahassee offices the experience and knowledge needed to successfully prosecute these complex cases.

If you or someone close to you has been injured due to a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation from the manufacturer or company selling the product. We offer free consultations and do not charge a fee for our services unless your case is won.
