Orlando Product Liability Attorney — Holding Manufacturers Accountable

Every product sold in Florida is expected to be safe for its intended use. When manufacturers, distributors, or retailers place a defective product on the market — whether due to a design flaw, a manufacturing defect, or inadequate warnings — and that product injures a consumer, Florida law provides the injured party with the right to pursue compensation. Product liability cases can be complex and require an attorney who knows how to build a strong case against large corporate defendants.

Grace Law PA represents consumers injured by defective products throughout Orlando and Central Florida, fighting for full accountability and fair compensation.

Florida Product Liability Law

Florida follows strict liability principles in product liability cases. Under Florida Statute §768.81, you do not necessarily need to prove the manufacturer was negligent — only that the product was defective and that the defect caused your injury. There are three primary types of defects: design defects (the entire product line is inherently dangerous), manufacturing defects (a specific unit was produced incorrectly), and marketing defects/failure to warn (inadequate safety instructions or warnings).

Common Product Liability Cases

• Defective automobile parts — airbags, brakes, tires
• Dangerous medications and medical devices
• Faulty household appliances
• Children’s toys with choking hazards or sharp parts
• Defective power tools and construction equipment
• Contaminated food products
• Dangerous dietary supplements

Frequently Asked Questions — Product Liability in Florida

Do I need to prove the manufacturer was negligent?

Not always. Florida’s strict liability doctrine means you may only need to prove the product was defective and caused your injury. An attorney will determine the best legal theory for your specific case.

Can I sue if I was using the product in an unintended way?

It depends. If your use was reasonably foreseeable (even if not the primary intended use), you may still have a valid claim. If your use was highly unusual and unforeseeable, it could limit recovery.

What is the statute of limitations for product liability claims in Florida?

Two years from the date of injury. Florida also has a statute of repose — generally 12 years from the date of delivery of the product — which may bar claims for older products.
