Defective Products
When you buy a product, the last thing you expect is for it to cause injury to you or a family member. Safety and reliability are important concerns in all products, from prescription drugs to tires and lawn mowers. Whether it’s an expensive reputable brand or a budget line, the same rule applies - design and quality manufacturing standards must ensure safety.
Unfortunately, corporations that design, manufacture, and market the products we use do not always have their eyes on consumers’ well-being. Sometimes they put profits before safety. By doing so, they are likely to produce products that are dangerous and unsafe, thereby unfairly placing the trusting consumer in harm’s way. Our defective product lawyers, based in offices in Miami and Tavernier in the Florida Keys, have over thirty years of holding careless manufacturers accountable for the unsafe products they market to the unsuspecting public. Our defective product attorneys handle a range of cases involving defective or recalled items including:
- Pharmaceuticals
- Defective tires
- Medical devices and equipment
- Pressurized spray cans and bottles
- Motor vehicle defects
- Seat belt/airbag defects
- Automobile crashworthiness
- Motorcycle helmets
- SUV Rollovers
- Roof crush
- Ladders
- Tobacco litigation
Products liability cases are complex and require a law firm with the experience, resources and dedication to take on large manufacturers. Our Miami and Florida Keys defective product lawyers utilize nationally renowned experts to identify and expose the product’s defect and further strengthen our client’s case, whether it is for defective tires, defective vehicle design, seatbelt failures, tobacco litigation or other faulty products.
Just some of the successful cases our Miami product liability lawyers have handled include:

- The tire tread separation of an SUV, which resulted in a loss of control and vehicle rollover. Our client sustained cervical fractures, a shattered hip and femur fracture. The case resulted in a $1.1 million verdict; and
