When a product fails the way it should never fail—an exploding battery, a faulty airbag, a collapsing chair, a contaminated medication—the injury it causes is not just “an accident.” It is the result of choices made in design, manufacturing, or warnings that put consumers at risk. People in Sunrise and across Broward County are often left with serious injuries, medical bills, and lost income while the company behind the product points to user error, improper use, or fine-print disclaimers to avoid paying what the law requires.
Desir Law Firm represents injured consumers and their families in product defect cases involving everything from household items and electronics to vehicles, machinery, medical devices, and more. We analyze how the product was designed, built, marketed, and labeled, and we work with the technical and medical experts needed to show how the defect caused your injury. The goal is to move the claim beyond “it just broke” and prove exactly where the company failed—and what full compensation should look like under Florida products liability law.
Defective Products That Commonly Lead to Injury in Florida
Product cases in Florida often involve recurring categories of defects: consumer electronics that overheat or ignite, auto parts that fail in a crash, unsafe children’s products, household appliances that spark fires, and industrial tools or equipment that malfunction under normal use. In many situations, the product was being used exactly as intended—or in a way the manufacturer should have reasonably anticipated. We focus on whether the product was unreasonably dangerous when it left the company’s control, not on the excuses the defense raises after someone gets hurt.
How We Prove a Product Was Defective
We evaluate whether your case involves a design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn. That means looking at engineering documents where available, quality control protocols, recall history, similar incident reports, and the warnings or instructions provided to consumers. By comparing how the product should have performed to how it actually behaved under real-world conditions, we build a liability story that helps judges, juries, and insurers understand why this was not an unavoidable risk, but a preventable hazard.
What Compensation May Be Available in a Products Liability Case
Serious product failures can cause burns, fractures, amputations, internal injuries, brain and spinal trauma, or long-term complications that affect your ability to work and live normally. We pursue compensation for emergency care, hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, future medical needs, lost income, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, and permanent disability or disfigurement. In cases involving extreme corporate misconduct, Florida law may also support additional damages designed to punish and deter similar conduct.
Why Acting Quickly Helps Defective Product Claims in Sunrise
Evidence in product cases is time-sensitive. The product itself must be preserved, not thrown away or repaired. Purchase records, packaging, instructions, and communications with the company can all matter. We move quickly to secure the defective item, document the scene, coordinate expert inspection, and prevent the defense from controlling or destroying key evidence. Early legal involvement gives your claim the strongest possible foundation before the manufacturer or insurer locks in their defenses.
