Injured by a Dangerous or Defective Product? Our Attorney Can Help
Dangerous products result in thousands of tragic injuries and deaths each year. When a product is sold to the public, the assumption is that it is safe for consumption. If a dangerous product fails to warn consumers of potential dangers, it can result in burn injuries, brain injuries, illness, or even amputation.
Manufacturers, as well as retailers, may be liable when a dangerous product leads to personal injury or death. If you, your spouse, or your child has been injured by a dangerous product in Florida, contact our Florida product liability lawyers and we'll do a free review of your case to see if you may be eligible for financial compensation.

Florida Product Liability Claims Are Complex
The process of developing a solid Florida product liability law case is complex. It requires identifying all the parties responsible for your injury. It also requires a determination of monetary damages. Determining monetary damages is much more than adding up your medical bills and time lost from work. Damages may include ancillary expenses, such as hiring someone to perform work that you can no longer do. Some of these damages require proof from experts. As you can see, the steps to developing a solid product liability lawsuit should only be done by an experienced and knowledgeable attorney. The Pinellas product liability law firm of DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis, P.A. has the experience and resources to go up against the manufacturers at no cost to you unless we recover money.
In Florida, a product is considered to be defective when there are:

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?
Under Florida law, an injured person has four years from the time the injury is discovered to file a personal injury or mass tort claim. However, an injury victim should seek the advice of an experienced injury attorney as soon as possible, for a number of reasons.
- First, evidence may be lost or destroyed if an attorney doesn't make a legal request for records pertaining to your claim.
- Second, it will take time to gather evidence and build a case, all of which can add to the time before filing
- Finally, knowing the answers to your questions straight from an attorney prepares you for the road ahead, and lets you know how best to cope with your medical bills and treatment plan as your case progresses.
