Product Liability Lawyer in Fort Lauderdale

Product liability claims are based upon the nature of the product defect and whether the manufacturer did their due diligence to warn consumers about the proper use of the device. Some common types of claims include:

Defective design: A defect in a poorly designed product, such as a medical device or piece of sport equipment, that could cause injury to whomever purchases the product.

Defective manufacturing: A safely designed product that is defectively manufactured, or produced in a way that makes the final product unsafe. Defective manufacturing may affect only a certain number of a particular product, or could render the entire lot of products dangerous. An example would be when substandard manufacturing makes a chair unstable and prone to breaking, even though it would be perfectly safe if manufactured correctly.

Failure to warn consumers: Some properly designed products can be dangerous if the consumer is not informed about the proper use of the device or product. An example would a powerful medication that is dangerous if consumed incorrectly or furniture that is prone to tipping over without being secured to a wall properly.

If you or someone you love was hurt by a defective product, you may be able to recover compensation for your current and future medical bills, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, and more. You may also be eligible to earn compensation for pain and suffering. If the product’s defect was severe enough to cause death, your family may be entitled to earn wrongful death damages. In cases where a manufacturer’s behavior was particularly neglectful, punitive damages may be awarded to discourage them and other manufacturers from similar conduct in the future.
