Product Liability Lawyer in Florida – Holding Manufacturers Accountable


Helping Victims of Dangerous and Defective Products in Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and Across Florida


Consumers trust that the products they buy are safe to use. However, when defective or dangerous products cause serious injuries, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers must be held accountable. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation. Lieberman Injury Law fights for victims injured by unsafe consumer goods, medical devices, and industrial equipment.

What is Product Liability?

Product liability refers to injuries caused by defective, unsafe, or improperly labeled products. Companies that design, manufacture, and sell products have a legal responsibility to ensure their safety. If they fail to do so, they may be held financially responsible for injuries caused by their negligence.


There are three main types of product liability claims:


  • Design defects – Flaws in the product’s design make it inherently dangerous
  • Manufacturing defects – Errors in production lead to unsafe products
  • Failure to warn – Lack of proper instructions, safety warnings, or misleading marketing.

Common Defective Products That Cause Injuries

Any product can be dangerous if improperly designed, manufactured, or labeled. Some of the most common defective products include:


  • Automobile defects – Faulty brakes, airbags, or tires causing accidents
  • Medical devices – Hip implants, pacemakers, or surgical mesh that fail prematurely
  • Pharmaceutical drugs – Medications with dangerous side effects or improper warnings
  • Children’s toys – Choking hazards, toxic materials, or poorly designed safety features
  • Household appliances – Faulty wiring, fire hazards, or mechanical failures
  • Industrial machinery – Defective power tools, construction equipment, or factory machines


Regardless of the product type, companies must be held accountable when their negligence causes harm.

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Defective Product?

Liability in a product defect case often extends beyond just the manufacturer. Potentially responsible parties include:


  • Product designers who created a flawed or unsafe design
  • Manufacturers who allowed quality control issues during production
  • Distributors or retailers who sold a dangerous product despite known risks
  • Pharmaceutical companies that failed to disclose harmful side effects


At Lieberman Injury Law, we thoroughly investigate each case to determine who is responsible and fight for full compensation.

  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity if the injury prevents you from working
  • Pain and suffering caused by physical and emotional trauma
  • Permanent disability, scarring, or disfigurement

    Even if you misused the product, you may still have a claim if the manufacturer failed to provide clear warnings or safety instructions.
