Products Liability
Manufacturers and retailers alike have a responsibility to ensure that the products they sell are safe. Despite this, products that are in correctly designed, defectively made, or not adequately labeled injure thousands each year. When negligence or willful misinformation cause injuries or even death, consumers have a right to seek legal representation. There are laws that protect you as a customer from defective products and if you have already been injured, these laws can ensure that you have the money to pay for medical costs, property damage, and other losses stemming from the injury. At Flaxman Law Group, our team of experienced Florida attorneys have successfully represented many clients in products liability cases and have helped these clients get back on their feet after devastating injury or loss.
