Understanding Product Liability Claims
What is a product liability legal claim?
A product liability legal claim is a civil action based on a defective product. Someone who is hurt by a faulty product sues for financial compensation.
Do I have a case for product liability?
If you are injured because of a dangerous product, you may have a claim for product liability. You must show that the product was legally defective and caused an injury and what your damages are. Our lawyers can help you understand what you must prove and the legal standards that apply to your case.
There are several legal theories that may be appropriate when someone is hurt by a defective product.
A product liability claim may be based on:
- Strict liability
- Negligence
- Breach of warranty
- Nuisance
- Other legal theories
Let us investigate your case and determine what legal standards must be met for you to receive compensation. See how we can help you prove your case.
How does product liability occur?
A product may become defective at any stage in production. A problem may occur during:
- Manufacture
- Construction
- Design
- Formulation
- Installation
- Preparation
- Assembly
For example, a product may be poorly designed from the beginning. The design may be unreasonably dangerous, so all of a certain type of product is defective. On the other hand, a certain number of products may have unintentional faults in the manufacturing process. A problem can occur in any stage of designing, manufacturing, and bringing a product to market. For a victim who is harmed, they may have the right to financial compensation.
How long do you have to claim compensation for product liability?
In Florida, you have four years to bring a claim for product liability based on injury. If the case involves a fatality, that period is shortened to two years.
It’s always best to contact us as soon as possible. We want to preserve the evidence and start working towards your compensation today.
Compensation for Product Liability
What damages can I receive for product liability?
Damages that a victim may claim for product liability are:
- Medical bills, including emergency care and ongoing treatment
- Lost income
- Replacement value of real property
- Cost of construction repairs
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional anguish
- Disfigurement and permanent injury
- Punitive damages (rarely awarded)
Your injuries deserve fair compensation. Our lawyers have worked with victims on multi-million dollar litigation of national significance. We have seen the suffering that victims endure. Our goal is to see that justice is done and that these injuries are fairly compensated.
