Defective Products Attorney in Pensacola

Providing the Uncompromising Representation You Need

Every day, people throughout Florida, the nation, and the world rely on various products to navigate their daily lives. From our cell phones to our medications to our cars—and everything in between—these products serve to make our lives safer, easier, and more convenient. Unfortunately, despite numerous manufacturing and distributing regulations, defective products still make their way onto the consumer market. When these defective products get into the hands of consumers, accidents can occur.

If you or a loved one was injured as a result of a defective product, our firm can help. At The Watson Firm, PLLC, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases and we always strive to hold the liable parties accountable for your injuries. When manufacturers and others put profits in front of public safety, they should be held responsible.

What Is a Defective Product?

In legal terms, a defective product is any product that fails to perform its intended or advertised function or is unreasonably dangerous to the user when used correctly, resulting in physical injury. A defect can occur at any stage of production—design, manufacturing, distribution, etc. A defective product can also refer to products that lack proper safety warnings.

A defective product can be just about anything. Some of the most common examples of defective products that lead to bodily harm, injury, or death include:

• Medications/pharmaceutical drugs
• Over-the-counter medications
• Automobiles or motor vehicles
• Motor vehicle parts, like tires, brakes, etc.
• Household appliances and furniture
• Playground equipment
• Children’s toys
• Dangerous cleaning products and supplies
• Household items, including hair dryers, electric blankets, etc.
• Electronics, including cell phones, computers, TVs, etc.

Defective products can be categorized in three distinct ways: defective design, defective manufacturing, or lack of adequate warnings/instructions. Our Pensacola defective products attorney can help you determine if your situation falls under one of these categories and if so, can help you understand your legal options.
