Defective Product Lawyer in Miami

When a product you trusted — a car part, a household appliance, a child’s toy — fails and causes injury, the manufacturer should answer for it. Florida law holds companies strictly accountable for putting unreasonably dangerous products into consumers’ hands.

Three Types of Product Defects

Florida recognizes design defects (the product was dangerously designed from the start, like a vehicle prone to rollover), manufacturing defects (a flaw introduced during production, like a contaminated batch or a cracked component), and marketing defects (inadequate warnings or instructions, such as failing to warn about a known risk).

Strict Liability: You Don’t Have to Prove Carelessness

In many Florida product cases, you do not need to prove the manufacturer was negligent — only that the product was unreasonably dangerous when it left the manufacturer’s control and that the defect caused your injury. This strict liability standard exists precisely because consumers cannot inspect every product they buy.

Who Can Be Held Responsible

Potentially liable parties include the product manufacturer, the manufacturer of a defective component part, the distributor or wholesaler, and the retailer who sold it. Our investigation identifies every company in the chain of distribution, because each may share responsibility — and each carries insurance.

Protect Your Claim: Preserve the Product

Do not throw the product away, attempt repairs, or let anyone else alter it. The defective item itself is the single most important piece of evidence. Store it safely, keep your receipt and packaging, photograph the defect and your injuries, and save all medical records. Then call a lawyer before speaking with the manufacturer’s representatives.

Deadlines Under Florida Law

Product liability lawsuits in Florida are generally subject to a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury, plus a statute of repose that can bar claims for older products. Because evidence degrades and companies restructure, early action matters.
