When a dangerous product causes harm, the Central Florida product liability attorneys at McBride, Scicchitano & Leacox, P.A. are available to seek a maximum financial recovery to help the injured cover his/her medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Product liability involves strict liability. This means that manufacturers are required to produce safe products, and when a product causes someone harm, the plaintiff doesn’t have to prove negligence, but rather that the product was unsafe. The injured person must also prove that he/she suffered an injury as a result of the product.

If you’ve suffered harm due to a dangerous product, make sure to keep all pieces of the product, as they will be considered evidence in your case. You should also consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible so you can have your case thoroughly evaluated.

Types of Product Liability Claims

Product liability claims will usually fall into one of the following categories:

  • Design defect — this means there is something wrong with the actual design of the product, and even if it were properly manufactured and distributed, it would still be unsafe for consumers.
  • Manufacturing defect — this means the product became defective due to a flaw in the manufacturing process, even though the design itself is safe.
  • Marketing defect — this means proper safety instructions or warnings were not included in the packaging of the product.

Manufacturing companies, distribution companies and designers all have a responsibility to keep American consumers safe. Unfortunately, product defects cause harm every day. The most serious cases can leave consumers with severe, debilitating injuries such as forced amputation, disfiguring burns, development of fatal conditions from toxic exposure and more.
