Understanding product liability claims is essential. When products cause harm, liability often falls into three categories: 1. Design Flaws: Even when made and used correctly, the essential design of the product is unsafe. 2. Manufacturing Errors: These occur in the production process, creating a deviation from the design that leads to danger. Typically, this affects just the faulty item, not the whole line. 3. Inadequate Warnings: Products missing necessary alerts or instructions about probable harms fall into this category. Adequate warnings are crucial for safe usage. Stay aware and safe. #FireworksSafetyMonth #FireworksSafety https://lnkd.in/eVjeyUi4

Learn about premises liability and the hidden dangers on properties. 

When a defective product injures a person, a product liability action arises. Product liability actions are typically due to a manufacturing defect, a design defect, or warning failure. Breach of warranty, strict liability, negligence, and nuisance are possible grounds for a product liability action. The Florida limitations period varies depending on whether you are filing a personal injury or wrongful death claim. The Florida product liability statute of limitations for a product liability action is four years. For a wrongful death claim, the statute of limitations is two years. The statute of limitations begins when you discover or should have discovered the injury, giving rise to the lawsuit. This does not always mean the clock starts the day the injury occurs. In addition to the statute of limitation periods discussed above, Florida also has a statute of repose. The statute of repose prohibits product liability actions more than twelve years after a product with an “expected life” of ten years or less reached its first purchaser. In Florida, all products have an expected life of fewer than ten years except for certain commercial airplanes, railroad equipment, and vessels. Such planes, vessels, and trains have an expected life of twenty years. The statute of repose prevents people from filing lawsuits over products that are decades old.

With more outdoor activities and events during the summer, the risk of accidents on someone else's property increases. Understanding premises liability is crucial if you get hurt due to another's negligence. If you've been injured on someone else's property, you might have a premises liability case. Learn about your rights and the standards of care property owners must meet:

To win a product liability case in Florida, plaintiffs must show two things. First, they must prove that the product had a defect that made it unreasonably dangerous. Second, they must provide evidence that the defect caused their injuries. A defect can come from various sources, including design, manufacturing, labeling, warranty, fraud, or misrepresentation. Plaintiffs can use theories of negligence or strict liability to hold manufacturers, designers, sellers, or distributors accountable for their faulty products. Learn more below!
