Florida Law: Your Rights in a Product Case
Negligence & Strict Liability
You can sue under strict liability (defect + causation + damages) and negligence (design, manufacturing, warnings, inadequate testing).
Comparative Negligence (51% Rule)
You can recover damages if you are less than 51% at fault; any assigned fault reduces compensation proportionally.
Statutes & Special Considerations
In Florida, the general deadline for personal injury is 2 years from the incident. Claims involving government entities and certain others have special notice rules. (Contact us to confirm your exact deadline.)
What Is My Product Liability Case Worth?
Damages You Can Recover
Value drivers: defect type, injury severity/permanence, strength of technical/expert evidence, scope of prior complaints/recalls, and number of insurance policies available.
Medical & Technical Considerations (That Drive Value)
- Objective diagnoses (fractures, burns, TBI, ocular damage, smoke/chemical inhalation)
- Engineering opinions (safer alternative design, failure analysis)
- Human factors and usability (warnings, iconography, language, placement)
- Staged photo records, future-care plans, and vocational/earning-capacity evaluations
What is the legal process?
Our Step-by-Step Legal Process
How Defendants & Insurers Undervalue Product Claims (and How We Respond)
- “Misuse” / user fault → we prove foreseeable use and inadequate warnings
- “One-off accident” → we identify patterns: complaints, bulletins, recalls, field data
- “Low energy = minor injury” → objective medical evidence and biomechanics where appropriate
- Offers without future medicals → life-care plan and earning-capacity analysis supported by experts
