Frequently Asked Questions about Defective Product Lawsuits

Product Liability Lawsuits

Designers, manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of products have a legal responsibility to ensure that the product is safe and free of potentially harmful defects. In the event that a defective product causes an injury or death to an individual, it may be possible to file suit against all liable parties. Under the "strict liability" theory of law, it is not necessary to prove negligence in a product liability lawsuit. A party – designer, manufacturer, or seller – can be held liable for damages caused by a defective product regardless of the level of care that the party exercised. In a product liability lawsuit, the actions of the defendant are not taken into consideration; rather, the court decides whether or not the plaintiff's injuries were caused by a product defect. If it can be shown that a product is defective, the plaintiff was injured, and the plaintiff's injuries were caused by the defective product, the defendant is automatically liable.

Located in Bartow and Lakeland, and serving Polk County, Florida, a defective product or personal injury attorney from Moody Law will work aggressively to help secure just compensation for your suffering.

Types of Defective Product Cases

Product liability claims usually arise when a product causes an injury as a result of one of the following:

  • Design defect – A design flaw is a defect that occurred at the conception of a product — a baby seat that provides inadequate support in the event of a crash, for example. If a product defect is determined to be a design flaw, then the designer of the product can be held liable for any and all damages caused by the product defect.
  • Manufacturing defect – Manufacturing defects result in a product that performs differently than the designers originally intended. Manufacturing defects may result from the materials that were used or the manufacturing technique itself.
  • Failure to warn – Also known as a marketing defect, a failure to warn occurs when a product causes an injury because consumers were not adequately warned about the potential dangers. It may be possible to file a 'failure to warn' claim even if the consumer was using the product incorrectly at the time of injury, so long as the use was something the manufacturer or designer should have foreseen.
