Personal Injury

Miami ProductLiability Lawyer

When a defective product hurts someone, the manufacturer and others in the distribution chain can be held responsible. Civil suits are often the only tool that forces unsafe products off the market.

The three kinds of product defect

Defective design — the product is dangerous as designed, not just as built.
Manufacturing defect — the design is fine, but this unit was built wrong.
Failure to warn — the product needs warnings or instructions the maker didn't provide.

Three legal theories used to prove the case

Negligence — the manufacturer fell below a reasonable standard of care.
Strict liability — the manufacturer and distribution chain are liable regardless of fault.
Breach of warranty — the product wasn't fit for its intended purpose.
