How Liability Works in a Product Liability Case
To put it simply, liability means legal responsibility. In a product liability case, you claim that a product hurt you and that someone should be held accountable for allowing that to happen. In Orlando, the law recognizes several ways you can establish that a product is legally defective in a product liability case.
Product defects come in three main varieties:
- Design defects—the product was dangerous from the start, even before it was made, with a flawed blueprint or design
- Manufacturing defects—the design was fine, but there was a mistake while it was being made
- Marketing defects or failure to warn—the product did not come with proper instructions, labels, or warnings about risks
To win a case, you do not need to prove that the company meant to harm you, only that their product was defective, and it caused you harm. That is precisely what our firm does every day.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Depending on the circumstances, more than one party could be responsible in Orlando product liability cases.
You may have a claim against:
- The manufacturer of the product
- A parts supplier if a component failed
- The distributor or retailer who sold it to you
- The company that assembled or installed the product incorrectly
These cases often involve large companies with big legal teams, but do not let that intimidate you. At Colling Gilbert Wright, we have challenged national corporations in court and won. That is why so many other law firms across the state trust us to handle their most serious injury cases. They know we are ready to fight for your case—and win it.
Legally, there are key pieces of evidence we would need to gather and preserve to build a strong case for you. To establish liability, our firm could work to prove that the product was defective, demonstrate foreseeable product use, and prove that the defect caused your injury. We could prove you suffered real damages—such as medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
Our team could also investigate the product, secure expert testimony, review company records, and even recreate the conditions under which you were hurt. We have handled similar cases before and know how to uncover the facts.
In one case, we helped a client recover a significant settlement after she suffered permanent nerve damage from a kitchen appliance with a hidden wiring defect. The manufacturer tried to argue user error, but our investigation uncovered past complaints that the manufacturer had ignored—which is what helped us win the case.
