Product Liability Injury Claims in Tallahassee, FL

Products can be defective in all kinds of ways, but some defects cause more than inconvenience, frustration, and wasted money. A product malfunction can have dangerous consequences that result in significant injuries, disability, pain and suffering, and medical expenses. When these issues lead to physical injuries and financial harm, you have the right to pursue compensation for these losses with the help of experienced defective product attorneys in Tallahassee, FL.

Types of Product Defects

Defects and malfunctions can affect products of all kinds. The Tallahassee product liability lawyers at Brooks, LeBoeuf, Foster & Gwartney, P.A. have the experience to handle claims involving all varieties of product defects.

Design Defects

In some instances, the flaw that results in a dangerous malfunction or failure is an inherent part of the product’s design. With defects in the original blueprint, the danger isn’t limited to a certain batch or run of products. Instead, it’s a continuous problem that persists throughout all of the manufactured products constructed according to that design.

Manufacturing Defects

When an error that occurs during the assembly or construction of a product causes a malfunction, this is known as a manufacturing defect. Manufacturers and potentially other parties involved in the distribution of the product may be held liable for these defects and the harm that results. Rather than encompassing all individual goods produced according to the product design, only the proportion of products produced on the affected manufacturing line or during the time period when this error occurred typically carries this defect.

Failure to Warn

In some instances, the product may not be inherently dangerous, but a reasonable and foreseeable use of it is.

Manufacturers have a responsibility to warn users of potential risks to their safety associated with the use of the product. In general, these warning labels should:

• Make consumers aware of known hazards
• Convey the severity of any risks in the use of a product
• Spell out the potential effects of these hazards
• Inform consumers of how to avoid hazards by properly using the product

What if the proper warnings or instructions could have saved you from suffering an injury, but the manufacturer failed to warn users of this potential risk? You may be able to hold the company liable for this failure through a defective product injury claim.

How to Sue a Company for Defective Product Injuries in Florida

To hold any party involved in the design, manufacture, or distribution of a malfunctioning product accountable for the harm you suffered, you need to prove that this defect caused your injury. Consumers, patients, and workers throughout Florida turn to our Tallahassee product liability lawyers for help establishing legal accountability for a product failure.

Depending on the specifics of your circumstances, a product liability injury claim or lawsuit we file on your behalf may include one or more of the following theories of liability:

• Strict liability, which generally involves an existing defect in a product resulting in injuries
• Negligence, which typically occurs when carelessness of any form in the design or manufacture of the product results in the failure or malfunction that causes injury
• Breach of warranty, which may include both express warranties and implied warranties

In a product liability claim, you generally need to establish elements such as the following:

• The way in which the product was defective
• The means by which this defect caused your injuries
• The damages you suffered as a result of the product malfunction

Establishing liability for a defective product claim can be complex. For example, you may need to combat claims from the defendant arguing that the product wasn’t defective, that your use of it contributed to your injuries, or that you modified the product in such a way that caused your injuries. To overcome these obstacles and build a strong case, you need attorneys with experience proving liability for defective products.

Potential Damages in Product Liability Claims

The point of a product liability claim or lawsuit is generally to make the injured victim financially whole through the monetary compensation they receive. The types of damages you may be able to seek compensation for in your claim include:

• Medical and rehabilitation bills
• Projected future medical and rehabilitation costs
• Lost wages for the time the injury keeps you from working
• Diminished earning capacity if your injuries affect your future ability to earn a living
• Other out-of-pocket costs related to your injuries, recovery, and disability
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish and emotional distress
• Loss of your quality of life
• Disfigurement due to permanent scarring
• Funeral expenses in wrongful death cases arising out of fatal injuries

Every product liability case is unique, involving different injuries, medical interventions, and impacts of disability. The exact compensation amount that may be available to you depends on the individual circumstances of your claim.
