What Are The Different Types of Product Liability Claims?

Product liability claims under Florida law take three basic forms:

• Defective design: A defective design claim alleges that the intended configuration or design of a product makes the product inherently dangerous for intended or foreseeable uses. A design defect will affect all products on the market sharing the same design.
• Manufacturing defect: A manufacturing defect claim alleges that some mistake or error was made during the manufacturing process, such that the product no longer conforms to its intended design but instead has been made dangerous or unsafe. A manufacturing defect may affect only a single example of a product, or it can affect entire manufacturing runs for a product.
• Failure to warn/instruct: A failure to warn/instruct claim alleges that a product came with inadequate warnings of the risks of using the products and/or had insufficient instructions regarding the safe use of the product and that you either would not have purchased the product with an adequate warning or would have properly used the product with adequate instructions. 

Florida’s product liability law is considered to impose “strict” liability on manufacturers. That means you do not need to prove that a manufacturer was negligent or careless in designing, building, or marketing a product that injured you. Instead, you only need to show that the product had some sort of defect that rendered it unreasonably dangerous for its intended or foreseeable uses and that this defect caused your injury. 

What Steps Should You Take after Being Injured by a Defective Product?

After being hurt by a defective product, steps you can take to preserve your legal options for pursuing compensation from liable manufacturers include:

• Keep the defective product that injured you, if safe to do so
• Seek medical attention to have a doctor diagnose the injuries that were caused by the product
• Follow your healthcare providers’ treatment instructions and recommendations
• Retain copies of bills, invoices, and receipts for medical treatment and other expenses, as well as copies of your pay stubs or income statements if you miss work due to your injuries

Finally, speak with a South Florida product liability lawyer to get started on the process of holding manufacturers accountable for your injuries.
