On any given day, you can turn on the television or flip through the newspaper and hear about SUV rollovers, toys that become choking hazards, or defective drugs that cause serious and deadly side effects. These cases are sometimes the result of defective products. Unfortunately, recalls are often too little, too late.
Under product liability law, manufacturers have an obligation to ensure their products are safe or at least warn of any hazards that could occur from using them. Unfortunately, many products are put on the market that can cause serious injury because adequate testing or research wasn’t done. Thousands upon thousands of injuries and deaths occur each year from defective parts on vehicles, household objects, machinery, or medical devices designed to heal.
The product liability lawyers at our Florida firm are successful because we’re not scared to take on corporate giants on behalf of our friends and neighbors. Our attorneys have the resources needed to research and uncover key documents to make your case, and we hire world-renowned experts in the appropriate science to weaken the opposition’s case. We have court-proven product liability lawyers and teams of professionals at our Florida offices who work around the clock to get the compensation you deserve. We care about your situation and we’ll work hard no matter how big or small your case is.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the safety of medical products and devices. Those who manufacture and sell medical products and devices must ensure that their products do not harm the patients. In the past, products such as Sulzer hip and knee implants and Baxter dialysis filters have come under fire for injuring consumers. If you have been injured by a dangerous or defective medical product or device, please contact our product liability lawyers in Florida today. You may be able to file both a defective product and medical malpractice claim.
Crashworthiness is one of the two important aspects of vehicle safety (accident avoidance equipment being the other). Crashworthiness deals with the ability of an automobile component to protect its occupants during a collision. Crashworthiness can include the safety of seatbelts, air bags, side impact bars, roll bars, and “crumple zones.”
When manufacturing or design defects cause a vehicle to be deemed unsafe, the car, truck, or SUV manufacturers are liable. Regardless of whether manufacturers are aware of safety problems in their vehicles, our product liability lawyers in Florida can hold responsible parties liable for injuries caused by the defect.
As our nation’s roadways become more and more crowded, congestion creates dangerous driving conditions. If roads cannot support the amount or speed traffic demands, safety is compromised. If you are involved in a car accident where poorly-planned curves or traffic dividers, hidden or poorly maintained signs, or insufficient construction support is a factor, you may be entitled to collect damages. Our product liability lawyers in Florida will aggressively pursue your claim.
The design of a structure must protect the safety and health of its occupants. Buildings must meet earthquake safety standards and provide safe exits in case of fire or other emergency. In addition, buildings should have accommodations for those with disabilities such as the inclusion of wheelchair ramps. Certain materials known to be dangerous to humans (such as asbestos) should be avoided when a building is designed and built. Our firm is competent in risk assessment and analysis of building design. Please contact us today!
If you have been injured by a defective product, our product liability lawyers in Florida will evaluate your case free of charge. View the following frequently asked questions and contact our firm if you would like to speak directly with an attorney.
A defective product is one that causes damage or injury to a consumer by way of a defect in the product, its labeling or marketing, and/or the way the product is used.
A successful product liability case is based on a manufacturing defect, a design defect, or inadequate warning of danger known to the manufacturer or seller.
A manufacturer is liable if the design allows for an unreasonable amount of danger to consumers.
A store can be liable under product liability law if it does not take proper steps to inspect the safety of the product.
Contact our product liability lawyers immediately. Our legal team in Florida will gather and secure evidence immediately. If too much time is taken, evidence can disappear or be altered.
A successful product liability case entitles the injured to compensatory damages, lost time from work, and property damage resulting from the use of the defective product. Pain and suffering, consortium, and punitive damages are also available for different reasons. The amount of compensation our product liability lawyers can secure on your behalf will depend on the facts of your case. Contact Farah and Farah in Florida today to discuss your case.
In addition to either the manufacturer or seller having liability for a product, any repairer of a product can also maintain liability for the product.
