Fort Lauderdale Product Liability Lawyer Explains What Manufacturing Defects Means

If you have suffered a loss as the result of a defective or unsafe product you should consult with a Fort Lauderdale product liability lawyer to determine if you are eligible for compensation. The product liability laws in Florida are designed to protect consumers from products that are poorly manufactured, designed in an inherently unsafe manner, or sold without proper warnings.

Causes for Product Liability Lawsuits

In Florida there are three categories that are most commonly the basis for a product liability lawsuit:

·         Manufacturing defects

·         Design defects

·         Failing to warn and warning labels

The Florida theory of strict liability holds that a manufacturer is liable for any manufacturing defect that occurs as a result of faulty manufacturing regardless of whether they took care throughout the manufacturing process.

These cases can be complicated because of the number of potential defendants. It's best to consult with a law firm that specializes in the field and that is current on recent rulings. In Fort Lauderdale, one of those law firms specializing in product liability lawsuits is mine, Martin, Lister & Alvarez and we are always available for a no charge consultation to evaluate your case.

In Fort Lauderdale a personal injury can take on many forms all of them involving discomfort, stress and confusion. They can range from dog bites to slip and falls to boating accidents to getting hit by a golf ball. Nobody sets out to get hurt so when it happens the injured party rarely knows what to do to protect their rights.

Let's first take a look at what you should do at the time of the injury:

• If there is a serious injury to you or others call 911 to get medical help.
• Your cell phone is your friend. Take photos of your injury and the injuries of others. Take shots of the location where the injury occurred. If the injury involved a boat try to get a shot with the registration number in the picture.
• Report the injury to the appropriate authorities (animal control for a dog bite, sheriff for a boating accident etc.)
• Write down the names of persons involved and witnesses. Write down how the injury occurred to the best of your recollection.
• Other than the authorities, don't speak to or give statements to anyone including an insurance adjustor without first speaking to a Fort Lauderdale personal injury attorney.
