Manufacturers have a duty of care to consumers and when this responsibility is breached, they should be held responsible. Not only can a product liability case help you receive justice and compensation, it can also get the word out to others about the potential dangers of a product.
Proving Your Product Liability Case: Key Elements
In order to have a successful product liability case on your hands, you must prove:
- There were failures in design.
- There were failures in manufacturing.
- There were failures to warn about usage risks.
Due to Florida's strict liability laws, you will need to show:
- The manufacturer's (or other party's) relationship to the product.
- The defect in the product.
- The dangerous condition created by the defect.
- That the defect caused your injuries.
If you wish to pursue a "failure to warn" case, establishing negligence is unnecessary. In this case, a product is considered defective if "the foreseeable risks of harm posed by the product could have been reduced or avoided by the provision of reasonable instructions or warnings."

Understanding Product Liability in Orlando: Local Insights & Resources
In Orlando, the vibrant community is not just known for its theme parks and sunny weather, but also for the diverse range of products available to consumers. Unfortunately, with this variety comes the risk of encountering defective products that can lead to serious injuries. Whether you’re navigating the bustling streets of downtown Orlando or enjoying a day at Lake Eola, it’s crucial to be aware of the potential dangers that defective toys, appliances, or medical devices can pose to you and your loved ones.
Local government entities, such as the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, provide resources to help consumers report unsafe products and seek guidance on product safety. These resources can be invaluable when dealing with the aftermath of an injury caused by a defective product. Additionally, the Orange County Consumer Affairs Division offers support for residents who may have experienced issues with products purchased locally.

Out-of-pocket expenses are always made part of your claim and are part of your economic damages that we seek to recover from the at-fault party. When your claim is presented to the at-fault party, we include your out-of-pocket expenses as part of the demand package.
If your case does not settle in what we call the "pre-suit phase," then your case will proceed to court where we will ask a jury for your out-of-pocket expenses as part of your economic damages on the verdict form.

Wage loss is paid out under your Personal Injury Protection benefit, which happens to be mandatory coverage for auto insurance in the State of Florida. There are exceptions, such as when you elected to have your wage loss reimbursement excluded on your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefit when you obtained your policy.
Normally, people who have their wage loss benefits excluded are those who are not employed for some reason or another. You can also elect to have a standard PIP (which covers wage loss at 60%) or extended PIP (which covers wage loss at 80%).
You will need to provide proof of income in the form of a paycheck stub, income tax return, or some other verifiable means. The remaining percentage of your wage loss not covered by your PIP insurance will become part of your claim against the defendant driver.
When cases do not involve PIP coverage, the wage loss becomes part of the demand to the at-fault party. In most cases, proof of lost income is rather simple if the injured person receives a paycheck. For our clients who are self-employed, we work very closely with them to help them assemble the necessary documentation to prove the wage loss claim. Tax returns can be helpful in instances where clients are self-employed.

Yes. Under Florida law, there are very specific, detailed deadlines to file claims. If you do not meet these deadlines, you may be forever barred from bringing your claim forward.
These time restrictions are known as statutes of limitations, and they vary depending on the type of claim you are bringing. It is critical that you consult with an attorney as soon as possible after your incident so you can receive good legal advice on the time limits for filing a personal injury claim.
