Products Liability

Florida Products Liability Claims and Litigation

For prompt and responsive representation in a personal injury case involving defective consumer products or malfunctioning auto components, contact a knowledgeable products liability attorney at Makofka & Makofka in Jacksonville. We can help determine whether your injury was caused by a dangerous or defective product, and assist with the recovery of personal injury damages.

We handle product liability cases such as the following:

• Breach of the warranty of fitness for sale and intended use
• Failure to warn of known hazards
• Defects in the manufacture of an otherwise safe product
• Defective instructions for installation or use

Our familiarity with state and federal law relating to products liability can help you recover damages under a theory of negligence, warranty, or even sometimes fraud. We represent clients in products cases involving mobile home components and systems, household appliances, sporting goods, power tools, and automotive safety equipment such as airbags, seatbelts, and child seats.

Because of the highly technical nature of many products liability claims, we work with forensic experts from many disciplines in order to review the history of the product's development and see whether any alternative design details, choices of materials, or inspection processes should have been implemented to protect the consumer.

As in our other personal injury cases, we accept products liability claims on a contingent fee basis. That means that you owe no attorney's fee unless we make a successful recovery in your case. For a free consultation about any products liability claim, contact a Jacksonville personal injury lawyer at Makofka & Makofka.
