In essence, a product liability case arises when a consumer is harmed due to a defective or unsafe product. These cases are not just about pointing fingers; they’re about accountability and ensuring companies uphold standards that protect people from unnecessary harm. At MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers, we know that each case is unique. That’s why we begin by carefully investigating the origin of the product defect, whether it stems from design flaws, manufacturing errors, or a failure to provide sufficient warnings. By examining every detail, we ensure your rights are fully protected.
To pursue a successful claim, certain elements must be demonstrated, and this is where MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers excel. We take the time to build a solid foundation for each case by focusing on these key factors:
A common question we get at MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers is: "How long do I have to file a product liability claim in Florida?" Under Florida law, you generally have four years from the date of the injury to file a product liability lawsuit. However, it’s crucial to begin as soon as possible, as evidence can degrade, and witness availability can change over time. We assist our clients by ensuring deadlines are met without compromising the thoroughness of our investigation.

Our Tampa-based team at MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers knows that each product liability case requires a unique approach. Our investigation begins with understanding the circumstances surrounding the injury. We interview witnesses, review product test results, and consult with experts in fields such as engineering, medicine, and product safety. Our dedication goes beyond gathering evidence; we work tirelessly to craft a compelling narrative that holds the responsible party accountable.
What if I Wasn’t the Buyer of the Product?
Product liability cases typically do not require you to be the original buyer. If you were injured by the product, you have the right to pursue a claim.
Can I File a Claim if I Was Partially at Fault?
Florida follows a "modified comparative negligence" rule, meaning you can still pursue compensation even if you were partially at fault. However, the compensation may be reduced based on your degree of fault.
Are Product Recalls Necessary for a Case?
A recall can support a product liability case but is not required. Our focus remains on proving the product’s defect and its role in causing harm.
