Defective Products and Personal Injury Claims in Florida

Defective products are those consumer products which are unsafe or are hazardous, even when used according to instructions. Manufacturers, designers and distributors have a legal duty to consumers to create products which are safe to use. If a product is hazardous, the manufacturer must include a label on the product, warning consumers. When a consumer is injured while properly using a product, a product liability claim may be filed under Florida’s personal injury laws.

Regardless of the circumstances leading up to the injury you or a loved one has sustained while using a consumer product, consulting an experienced product liability attorney will be in your best interest if you would like to see whether you are eligible to file a claim and receive compensation for your losses. Gainesville product liability attorney Robert G. Whittel is familiar with Florida’s state-specific laws involving defective products. We have dealt with a wide variety of cases and understand what it takes to prove manufacturer liability and help you get the compensation you deserve.

Strict Liability and Defective Products

Many lawsuits and claims involving defective products in Florida will fall under strict liability, meaning that your lawyer need not prove the negligent, intentional or careless intent of the manufacturer in regards to the defective product. Your lawyer need only prove:

  • The product was defective, prior to its release from the manufacturer
  • You were using the product properly
  • You were injured
  • The defective product caused your injuries

At the Law Offices of Robert G. Whittel, we deal with personal injury and accident claims throughout Ocala, Bushnell and Gainesville, Florida. Common cases we have seen involving product liability include those involving home appliances, automobiles, food, drugs and medical devices and implants. Regardless of your unique situation, consulting attorney Whittel can only be to your benefit. It costs nothing to get an initial case evaluation, and we work on a contingent fee basis, meaning you do not pay us anything unless we win a settlement on your behalf.
