Product Liability

Every year, hundreds of Floridians are injured or killed by defective, badly designed, or poorly manufactured consumer products. Many times, the companies that produce these products know that they are dangerous, but allow them to be sold to people anyway, with little regard for the safety of their customers. Sometimes, manufacturers or retailers are simply careless, and tragedies result. If you or a loved one has been injured by a consumer or industrial product, you should do the following:

Document, Document, Document. It is very important to get as much information as possible about the product or item. Save the item in a safe place, if you can. Obtain the names of any witnesses, any model numbers or brand names, whether any videotape exists of the accident, and information about when and where the item was purchased. Make sure you receive medical treatment immediately, and report all pain and injury, including the details of the accident, to your health care provider.

Contact Us at Once. We find that many people who have been injured by a defective product wait too long to contact an attorney to obtain a consultation. Many times the statute of limitations has expired, or the witness or product information has become too old to be of any use. Time is of the essence in these cases, and an attorney should be contacted at once. We will gladly provide a free consultation to explain your rights, and the remedies available to you under law.
