Holding Manufacturers Accountable for Dangerous and Defective Products

Consumers trust that the products they purchase are safe when used as intended. When a defective product causes serious injury, the consequences can be life-changing.

Product liability law allows injured individuals to pursue compensation from manufacturers, distributors, and sellers when a product is unreasonably dangerous.

The Miami Shark P.A. represents clients in Miami and throughout Florida who were harmed by defective products. We investigate how the product failed and pursue accountability from those responsible.

What Is Product Liability?

Product liability refers to legal claims arising from injuries caused by unsafe or defective products.

In Florida, product liability cases generally fall into three categories:

Defective Design

A design defect exists when the product’s design is inherently unsafe, even if it was manufactured correctly. The danger is built into the product itself. Examples may include unstable furniture, unsafe vehicle components, or poorly designed tools.

Manufacturing Defect

A manufacturing defect occurs when a product departs from its intended design due to an error in the production process. Even a well-designed product can become dangerous if it is improperly assembled or made with faulty materials.

Failure to Warn

Manufacturers have a duty to provide adequate warnings about known risks associated with their products. If proper instructions or safety warnings are missing, unclear, or insufficient, the product may be considered defective. This category often arises in cases involving medications, machinery, chemicals, and consumer goods.

Types of Product Liability Cases We Handle

Defective products can appear in almost any setting. Common examples include:
  • Faulty vehicle parts
  • Defective appliances
  • Dangerous tools or machinery
  • Unsafe children’s products
  • Medical devices
  • Prescription medication errors
  • Industrial equipment failures

These cases often require technical analysis and expert evaluation to determine how the product failed and whether it met safety standards.

What Must Be Proven in a Product Liability Claim?

To succeed in a product liability case in Florida, you typically must show:
The product was defective.
The defect existed when it left the manufacturer or seller.
The defect caused your injury.
You suffered measurable damages.
Unlike standard negligence cases, product liability claims may not require proof that the manufacturer acted carelessly. Instead, the focus is on whether the product was unreasonably dangerous.

Establishing this often requires engineering analysis, safety testing data, and industry standards.

Injuries Common in Defective Product Cases

Defective products can cause serious harm, including:
  • Burns
  • Electrocution injuries
  • Lacerations
  • Crush injuries
  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal injuries
Some injuries require surgery or long-term medical care. Others result in permanent disability.

Medical documentation and expert testimony are often essential in proving the full extent of damages.

Compensation in Product Liability Cases

If a defective product caused your injury, you may be entitled to recover compensation for:
  • Medical expenses
  • Future treatment
  • Lost wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering

In cases involving catastrophic injuries, compensation may reflect long-term medical needs and life adjustments.

Large corporations often defend these cases aggressively. Careful preparation and strong legal strategy are essential.
