Product Liability Lawyer in West Palm Beach

Defective Products May Cause Serious Injuries

Were you injured by a defective product? You may be able to work with a West Palm Beach product liability lawyer to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor or designer of the product. This may enable you to recover financial compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, future medical care and other damages you sustained as a result of the product's defect.

In Florida, product liability cases are handled in a specific way. They are handled as "strict liability" cases, meaning the injured parties do not need to prove negligence on the part of the manufacturer to seek financial damages. Proof of specific negligence or wrongdoing is not necessary. Rather, the injured party must prove the following:

• The product was defective;
• The victim suffered injury;
• The victim's injuries were caused because the product was defective; and
• The victim was using the product properly or as directed.

There are different potential grounds for product liability claims in West Palm Beach, FL. A manufacturer may be held accountable for a product that has a design defect, manufacturing defect, that has inadequate/improper instructions for its use, or that lacks a warning label to inform consumers of the potential hazards associated with using the product.
