Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for product liability claims in Florida?
In Florida, the statute of limitations for product liability claims is generally four years from the date the injury occurred or was discovered. However, there is also a 12-year statute of repose for most products, which can bar claims filed more than 12 years after the product was sold.
What types of product defects can I claim in Lauderhill?
You can claim for design defects, manufacturing defects, or failure to warn about dangers. Florida law recognizes these three categories under strict liability and negligence theories. Common examples include faulty car parts, defective medical devices, and contaminated food products.
Do I need to prove the manufacturer was negligent in Florida?
No, you do not always need to prove negligence. Under Florida strict liability law, you only need to show the product was defective and unreasonably dangerous, and that the defect caused your injury. However, a negligence claim requires showing the manufacturer failed to exercise reasonable care.
