Tampa Product Liability Lawyers

Product liability cases arise from a defective product that was negligently designed or malfunctions to cause injury. A defective product can be any good a consumer buys that causes injury such as a car tire, baby crib, pool drain cover, or piece of machinery.

The manufacturers and sellers of defective or negligently designed products are liable to the buyer and those who have sustained a personal injury by the product. In some instances liability may already be admitted in that the defective product has been recalled by the manufacturer. However, it is important to save each defective product as evidence and for testing. Some product liability cases warrant the recovery of punitive damages, if we can prove the manufacturer knew of the defective design of a product before the product was placed into the stream of commerce.

Sometimes it may not be necessary to prove the product was defective. There are some instances where a manufacturer fails to provide the proper instructions or warning concerning the use of the product that results in a personal injury or even wrongful death. This failure to warn or provide the proper instructions, in some instances, can be enough to prevail in a products liability case.

Who is liable in a products liability case? The manufacturers and sellers of defective products are liable to the buyer and those who have suffered a defective product injury. Due to the number of potential national defendants in a products liability case, many products liability cases are tried in United States federal court as opposed to state court.

Some product liability cases warrant the recovery of punitive damages, if our Tampa defective product injury lawyers can prove the manufacturer knew of the defective design or through gross negligence failed to learn of the product's defect before the product was placed into the stream of commerce.
