Florida Provides Consumers with Legal Protections Against Dangerous Products

Although a product liability action is a type of personal injury lawsuit, the elements you must prove to receive compensation are different from a standard negligence-based claim, such as a car accident case or a slip and fall case. In situations involving injuries caused by dangerous or defective products, the plaintiff does not need to establish that the defendant was at fault for their injuries. Instead, Florida law allows plaintiffs to use a strict liability approach to establishing their right to compensation in product liability cases.

In a strict liability claim, the plaintiff only needs to show that the product was designed in an unreasonably dangerous manner, suffered from a manufacturing defect that made the product unreasonably dangerous, or failed to include sufficient warnings and instructions making it safe for use. Florida has adopted the consumer expectation approach to determining whether a product is designed in an unreasonably dangerous manner.

Under this test, a product is considered unreasonably dangerous if it does not function or operate as safely as a reasonable consumer would anticipate when using the product in its intended manner or a reasonably foreseeable manner. However, a plaintiff is not limited to strict liability and they can also assert claims for negligence and breach of express and implied warranties. The product liability attorneys at our Fort Myers practice can bring the full range of claims that may be appropriate in your circumstances.

Regardless of which causes of action you assert in your lawsuit, you will need to show that the defendant’s conduct was the direct cause of the injuries you sustained. In other words, you must prove that the injury would not have occurred but for the product’s dangerous design or the manufacturer’s failure to use due care in designing the product.

It is also important to note that Florida has adopted the pure comparative fault doctrine, which allows a jury to consider evidence indicating that the plaintiff’s own actions contributed to their injuries. The jury can assign a percentage of fault to the plaintiff, and this percentage will reduce any damages awarded in the Plaintiff’s favor.

The defendant may argue that the plaintiff was using the product in an unforeseeable manner when the accident occurred, thereby contributing to their injuries. Finally, the plaintiff will need to provide evidence of all of the damages they seek in the litigation, including medical expenses, missed paychecks, pain and suffering, and future damages, such as ongoing medical care or reduced earning capacity damages.
