Product Liability

Under Florida law of strict product liability, a defendant is strictly liable for a plaintiff's injury if the product is in a condition that is unreasonably dangerous. A product is unreasonably dangerous if the product fails to perform as safely as an ordinary consumer would expect when used as intended or in a manner reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer or if the risk of danger in the design of the product outweighs the benefits.

Under Florida strict product liability law, manufacturers, distributors and sellers can be held liable, without regard to actual negligence, so long as the product was defective as defined above.

The law holds manufacturers, sellers and distributors responsible for products that pose a danger to users or consumers as a result of design and/or manufacturing defects. If a product has injured you, you may be able to recover for your injuries under product liability or negligence law. An attorney with experience in handling products liability and negligence cases can analyze the facts surrounding your injury and determine whether the product that injured you was defectively designed, defectively manufactured or both.
