Florida product liability
exists because manufacturers have a legal
responsibility of the safety to their consumers.
When consumers are injured or harmed by
a product while using it in its intended
manner, Florida product liability is present.
Florida product liability does not just
include manufacturers but wholesalers, designers,
retailers, and anyone involved with the
product being sold to the consumer.
Over time law has taken
the stance of imposing strict liability
in regards to Florida product liability
on any individual or company making defective
products. The premise of Florida product
liability assumes manufacturers and product
sellers must exercise a certain degree of
consumer protection. The failure to provide
warnings when knowledge of hazardous products
exists, not ensuring that a defective or
malfunctioned part is not used in their
products, or a fault exists that makes the
product unsuitable for the purposes of its
purchase means that Florida product liability
is present.
More common Florida product
liability cases include a misrepresentation
in what the products are capable of by failing
to adequately warn of potential risks through
marketing or advertising, design defects,
and manufacturing errors. Florida product
liability cases can take shape in four different
ways depending on the injuries sustained
and the specific defective product. Strict
Florida product liability cases find everyone
involved in making the defective product
accountable for the injuries. Every injury
that the consumer experienced is the manufacturers
or seller's responsibility in strict Florida
product liability cases.
Other Florida product liability
cases may involve negligence, breach of
warranty, or misrepresentation. A negligent
Florida product liability case finds that
the manufacturer did not properly exercise
enough care to avoid consumer harm and injury.
Breach of warranty Florida product liability
is when the seller makes a claim that is
not supported. Florida product liability
law anticipates that when a company makes
a claim they will follow through with it.
When a misrepresentation Florida product
liability exists it finds the company used
advertising or marketing to enhance their
product to appear safer than it really is.
Florida product liability attorneys exist
