Naples Product Liability Lawyer

Product Liability Attorney in Naples, FL

Naples is one of the wealthiest communities in Florida, boasting luxury real estate and a high cost of living to match. While the locals enjoy high-end retail, many expensive amenities, and beautiful beaches, it is possible for injuries to happen unexpectedly in many different ways. If you have been hurt by a defective product, you need to consult an experienced Naples product liability lawyer at your first opportunity.

Defective products are those consumer products that are unsafe or hazardous, even when used according to instructions. Manufacturers, designers and distributors have a legal duty to consumers to create products that are safe to use. If a product is hazardous, the manufacturer must include a label on the product, warning consumers. When a consumer is injured while properly using a product, a product liability claim may be filed under Florida’s personal injury laws.

Regardless of the circumstances leading to the injury you or a loved one has sustained when using a consumer product, consulting an experienced product liability attorney is in your best interests to see whether you have a claim and can be compensated for your losses.

I am attorney Justin Caldarone, and I am familiar with Florida’s state-specific laws involving defective products. My Naples firm has handled a wide variety of cases, and I understand what it takes to prove manufacturer liability to help you get the compensation you deserve. You have limited time to file a product liability claim in Florida, so it is essential to hire a product liability lawyer you trust at your earliest convenience so they can begin building your case.

Strict Liability And Defective Products

Many lawsuits and clams involving defective products in Florida fall under strict liability, meaning that your lawyer need not prove the negligent, intentional or careless intent of the manufacturer regarding the defective product. Instead, your lawyer need only prove the product was defective prior to its release from the manufacturer; you were using the product; you were injured; and the defective product caused your injuries.

At The Caldarone Law Group, P.A., I handle personal injury and accident claims throughout the Naples and Fort Myers region. Common cases involving product liability include those involving home appliances, automobiles, food, drugs and medical devices and implants.

FAQs

How Can a Product Be Defective?

A product can be defective in three main ways. Defective design means there is an inherent flaw with the design of the product, defective production means there was a problem with the manufacturing of the product, and defective marketing means the product lacked sufficient safety warnings or instructions for use, or that the product failed to perform as advertised and presented an unreasonable risk of harm to the end user.

How Much Compensation Can I Claim for Product Liability in Naples?

The amount of compensation you can claim for product liability in Naples depends on the severity of the injuries you suffered. If you can prove the product directly caused your injury, you have the right to claim compensation for any economic and non-economic damages the defendant caused. You may have grounds to claim compensation for medical bills, lost income, property damage, and for your pain and suffering.

How Is Pain and Suffering Compensation Calculated in Product Liability Cases?

In product liability cases, pain and suffering compensation can be calculated in various ways. Florida does not have a general cap or limit on pain and suffering compensation in most personal injury cases. Your attorney can seek an amount that reflects the overall severity of your injuries and the scope of any long-term or permanent harm the defendant has caused. Plaintiffs who have suffered severe injuries generally secure substantial pain and suffering compensation.

Why Should I Hire a Product Liability Lawyer?

You should hire a product liability lawyer because this case is likely to entail confronting a large company that is likely to have an experienced in-house legal department. You are not only more likely to meet all the procedural rules of your case and prove liability with an attorney’s help, but also more likely to maximize your compensation. Ultimately, it is always worth hiring experienced legal counsel to help you through this difficult type of personal injury case.
