Product Liability Attorney in South Florida
When you buy a product, you trust that it will be safe to use as intended. Unfortunately, some manufacturers and distributors cut corners—whether through poor design, substandard materials, or lack of proper testing. If a defective or dangerous product has caused you harm, you may have a legal claim under product liability law.
I’m Mark Schiffrin, a personal injury attorney based in Hollywood, Florida, with over 35 years of experience helping injured consumers across Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties. I provide straightforward, compassionate legal counsel to clients who have been injured by unsafe products—because your safety should never be compromised.
What Is Product Liability?
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, designers, distributors, or retailers when their products cause injury due to a defect or failure. These cases typically fall under one or more of the following categories:
- Design defects – The product is inherently dangerous due to a flawed design.
- Manufacturing defects – The product became unsafe during production or assembly.
Failure to warn (marketing defects) – The product lacks proper instructions or safety warnings.
Common Types of Defective Products
Product liability cases can involve virtually any consumer good, including:
- 🚗 Auto parts (e.g., faulty brakes, airbags, or tires)
- 🍼 Children’s toys and baby gear
- 💊 Pharmaceutical drugs or medical devices
- 🔌 Electronics or appliances that overheat or catch fire
- 🧰 Tools and machinery used in the workplace or at home
- 🍽️ Kitchenware or household items that break or cause burns
If you’ve been injured by a product like these, you may be entitled to compensation.
How I Handle Product Liability Claims
Product liability cases are complex. They often involve going up against large corporations, insurance companies, and defense teams. But I don’t back down. Here’s how I help:
- 🔍 Conduct a detailed investigation into how and why the product failed
- 📁 Collect and preserve evidence, including the defective product itself
- 🧑⚕️ Work with engineers, product experts, and medical professionals to build a strong case
- 🛡️ Deal directly with the insurance companies on your behalf
- ⚖️ Take your case to trial if a fair settlement isn’t offered
As your attorney, I’ll stand by your side every step of the way—making sure your voice is heard and your injuries are fully accounted for.
Compensation in Product Liability Cases
Victims of defective products may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (including future care)
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages or income
- Disability or disfigurement
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
In cases of extreme negligence, punitive damages may also be awarded.
