Product Liability Attorney Coral Springs, FL

From household appliances and children’s toys to auto parts, medications, and power tools, the products in every Coral Springs home carry a risk when they are poorly designed or built. When a defective product causes injury, victims often end up at Broward Health Coral Springs facing bills for something that was never their fault.

Product liability is the area of law that holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible for putting unsafe products into consumers’ hands. While these claims can involve ordinary negligence, Florida also allows a powerful strict liability theory that does not require proving carelessness at all. A product liability attorney in Coral Springs, FL determines which theory fits and builds the case around the defect.

Three Types of Product Defects

Product liability claims generally fall into three categories, and identifying the right one shapes the entire case.

• Design defects: The product is dangerous because of how it was designed, meaning every unit carries the same flaw, such as a vehicle prone to rollover or a tool with no safeguard.
• Manufacturing defects: The design is sound, but something went wrong in production, so a specific unit or batch left the factory dangerous.
• Marketing defects (failure to warn): The product lacks adequate instructions or warnings about a known risk, such as a medication without proper side-effect disclosures.

When a defect turns up in a vehicle, it can overlap with a [car accident] claim; when it involves a fire or explosion, it may connect to a [burn injury] claim. The type of defect determines what evidence and experts the case will need.

Strict Liability and Who Can Be Held Responsible

Florida follows the doctrine of strict product liability, which is what makes these cases distinct. Under strict liability, an injured person does not have to prove the manufacturer was careless, only that the product was defective, that the defect made it unreasonably dangerous, and that it caused injury while being used as intended. That shifts the focus from the company’s conduct to the product itself.

Responsibility can extend along the entire chain of distribution. Identifying every liable party, which may include the manufacturer, a component maker, a wholesaler, and the retail seller, ensures every available source of compensation is on the table. Florida’s comparative fault rule still applies, reducing recovery by the injured person’s share of blame, such as misusing the product, and barring it past 50 percent. These cases almost always require engineering and safety experts, which is why early investigation and preservation of the product matter so much.

Why Choose Jacobson Injury Firm

Adam Jacobson prepares each claim as though a jury will decide it, which is often what moves a corporate insurer off a low offer. He earned his law degree from Florida International University College of Law and is licensed in Florida, New York, Connecticut, and Illinois, and his background in biotechnology is an asset when technical and scientific evidence drives a case.

He has recovered millions of dollars for injured clients and handles each matter personally, so the attorney who evaluates the claim is the one who negotiates and, if needed, tries it against a manufacturer’s defense team.

Injuries and Compensation

Defective products cause a wide range of harm, from [traumatic brain injuries] and severe burns to [catastrophic injuries] and death. A claim can recover [damages] for medical care, lost wages and future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and, when a product proves fatal, [wrongful death] losses for the family.

Because manufacturers and their insurers fight these claims hard, preserving the product itself is critical. The defective item is often the single most important piece of evidence, and discarding it can undermine an otherwise strong case. These cases also frequently involve nationwide patterns, since a dangerous product rarely injures only one person. Recalls, prior lawsuits, and reports to federal safety regulators can reveal that a manufacturer knew about a hazard and failed to act, which strengthens a claim considerably. Uncovering that history is part of the investigation an experienced attorney conducts at the outset.

Coral Springs Product Liability Attorney FAQs

Do I have to prove the company was careless?

Not necessarily. Under Florida’s strict liability rule, you generally need to show the product was defective, unreasonably dangerous, and caused your injury during normal use, not that the manufacturer was negligent.

Who can be held responsible for a defective product?

Anyone in the chain of distribution, including the manufacturer, component makers, distributors, and the retailer that sold it. Identifying all of them can open multiple sources of compensation.

What should I do with the product after an injury?

Keep it. Do not repair, alter, or throw it away. The product itself is often the key evidence, and preserving it exactly as it was strengthens the claim.

How long do I have to file?

Generally, two years from the date of injury under section 95.11, though certain circumstances can affect the deadline. Acting early protects both the evidence and the claim.

What does a product liability attorney cost?

Nothing upfront. The firm works on contingency, so the fee comes only from a recovery, and the first consultation is free.
