At Eggnatz | Pascucci, you have a trustworthy, trial-proven Davie personal injury lawyer ready to advocate for you and for fair compensation for your harms and losses.
How Product Liability Applies in Florida Personal Injury Cases
Product liability occurs when a person suffers an injury or other losses due to the negligence of a manufacturer or seller of a product. This falls under Florida Statutes 768.81(1)(d), which aims to provide protection based on different types of defects. Examples of product defects or product negligence may stem from:
- Improper manufacturing
- Improper Design
- Poor construction
- Improper formulation
- Improper preparation
- Poor assembly
- Defective installation
If you can prove that you suffered injuries and other losses, you may be able to hold that party accountable. Keep in mind that the burden of proof is on the victim, which means it may be more challenging than you realize. Having a Davie product defect liability lawyer to help you could prove critical, including in any of the following property liability category types:
Defective Design
Design defects involve some type of inferior or improper defect in the design, structure, or formulation that caused the injury. This can happen in situations where the company cuts corners and fails to test its product functionality or design quality before manufacturing it. Defective designs typically involve more than one person.
Manufacturing Defects
The manufacturing process is the second step in the production process. A company may fail to provide a safe product for its customers. Manufacturing defects have to do with the production of the product, which causes injuries in some way. In some cases, this can apply to numerous products, such as a batch all produced with a flaw, or it may be just a single product.
Marketing Defects
The third category of common defective products is those injuries caused by failure to warn of the potential risks or not providing accurate or complete instructions on how to use the product. This type of injury typically occurs due to a lack of product testing or marketing oversights. This type of accident may happen to just one person or several people.
How a Davie Product Liability Attorney Can Help You
If a product fails to work as expected, you may think all you need to do is to take it back to the place you purchased it. While that may get you a refund, it fails to protect you from larger injuries and losses. With the guidance of a product liability lawyer from our firm, we can help you recover the damages you suffered in a serious accident. Some of the resources we can provide for you include:
- A network of professionals: Our legal team has medical experts, science professionals, and manufacturing teams to turn to when we need detailed information about what failed.
- Experience going after the big companies: It is very common for product liability cases to involve large manufacturing companies or, in some cases, overseas companies. Our legal team knows how to pursue any party determined to be responsible.
- We are trial experienced. Having fought for our clients for years, you can expect each one of our attorneys to be able to achieve a settlement, but if that cannot happen, we have the experience to go to court to fight for you.
The first step is to meet with a lawyer from our firm during a free consultation. Allow our lawyers to go over the information and evidence in your case to determine what your rights to compensation may be and what steps we need to take. If we take your case and you do not recover damages, you owe us nothing for our services.
Strategies for Proving a Product Defect
To prove a product caused your injuries and that you should receive compensation for your losses, you must demonstrate what happened, what caused it to occur, and what the value of your losses are. Demonstrating the fault of the product manufacturer or seller can be challenging, but our experienced team can help you by showing clear evidence of factors such as:
- The product failed because of a manufacturing error or design flaw that the company did not warn about
- You used the product as it was expected for the purpose the manufacturer expected
- The accident was directly related to the specific flaw in the product.
- You suffered injuries and financial losses as a result of the accident.
To verify this information, our product liability lawyers will work in a reliable manner to determine what happened by gathering evidence from many sources. That may include photos and analysis of data, information about other victims or claims, and accident reconstruction evidence. With this information and our dedication to providing superior legal support, we will build a strong, evidence-based case to protect your rights.
Avoid Contacting the Insurance Company Yourself
Product manufacturing companies often seek out customer complaints and resort to handling them in-house, meaning they want to avoid having to pay out a hefty insurance claim. Yet, this can lead to costly losses for victims who do not receive fair compensation for all of their losses. We strongly encourage you to maintain possession of the product, document your injuries, get medical care, and then call our attorneys for help.
