Manufacturing Defects

A manufacturing fault arises when a mistake or oversight in the production process compromises the product's integrity. For example, if a machine that makes brake calipers fails, the faulty calipers might cause a vehicle accident. In Florida, you normally have 2 years to file a claim after discovering you purchased a faulty product. The statute of limitations for product liability lawsuits may begin running at the moment of the accident. In other circumstances, you may not detect an injury immediately. In many cases, the statute of limitations does not begin to run until you discover your damage.

Who Should Consider Filing a Claim and Why Legal Representation Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: Anyone injured by a defective product should consider filing a claim. This includes consumers who have suffered physical harm, financial loss, or other damages due to a product that did not perform as safely as expected. Filing a claim can help recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
• Consequences Without Representation: Product liability law is complex, especially for those without legal experience. Manufacturers often deny responsibility, and insurance companies may use tactics to minimize payouts. Establishing liability requires expert witnesses and technical evidence, and strict deadlines and procedures can make the process overwhelming. Additionally, insurance companies may delay claims or offer low settlements.
