How Do You Prove Fault in a Product Liability Case?

In Florida, there are two ways to prove fault for product liability.

A strict liability case will require you to prove:

• A person used the product as intended
• The product had a defect
• The defect caused the victim’s injury
• The victim suffered damages or losses as a result

The second type of product liability case is where you must prove negligence.

This requires your Tampa product liability lawyer to prove:

• You were owed a duty of care by the manufacturer or other party
• The manufacturer breached the duty of care
• This breach caused your harm, such as an injury
• This harm caused you to suffer damages

Typically this kind of case will also include breach of warranty claims. Do not try to take this kind of case on yourself. Boohoff Law is here to help.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?

There are statutes of limitations for all personal injury cases. This gives you a specific time to file a claim. In Florida, the statute of limitations for defective product claims is four years.
