Have you been injured by a defective product? If so, you may be eligible to file a legal claim against the party at fault. It may seem like a big headache to pursue a legal case while you are trying to recover physically, psychologically, and financially from your injury, but an attorney will help you navigate the claims process and handle the paperwork and any barriers.
A successful claim can act as a much-needed lifeline for a person injured by a defective product, as the manufacturer, distributor, and/or retailer can be held legally accountable for what occurred and any accompanying expenses. This means that, should you win your claim, you could be compensated for medical bills, emotional distress, and/or lost wages, among other damages.
Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. is a supportive and experienced personal injury firm that has served Florida for decades. A product liability attorney on our award-winning team can help you gather evidence to prove that the product malfunction was not your fault but was, in fact, the direct result of a negligent manufacturer, vendor, or other party.
We have garnered a reputation for our persistent commitment to advocating for injured consumers and have won millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for our clients over the years.
Since there are so many different types of products, people often wonder whether their injury qualifies for a claim. A few examples of defective products that people file suit over include:
To win a product liability claim, you will have to establish that one or more of the following defects led to your injury:
Manufacturers and vendors of such products do their best to deny liability by claiming that the product was no longer under warranty or that you caused the malfunction through improper use, care, assembly, or the like. This is one of the many reasons why it is wise to hire a skilled Florida product liability attorney to take on these parties, especially if you are going up against a large corporation that has expensive lawyers at its disposal.
In Florida and the rest of the state, the modified comparative fault or modified comparative negligence rule is applied to product liability cases, which means you are not automatically considered ineligible to file a claim just because you were partially at fault for the incident.
Whether you are pursuing a claim for your own injuries or filing a product liability claim for the wrongful death of a loved one, Florida Statutes § 95.11 grants you two years from the date of the incident to take action.
