Product Liability
The Trial Lawyers at The Ferraro Law Firm
Did you suffer severe burns or other injuries from using a household product?
Was your child seriously injured by using a toy or other product intended for children?
Were you seriously injured from a product that has been recalled?
You and your family have the right to be safe from harm when you use a consumer product for its intended purpose. If you are injured, you may be eligible for compensation if the product was defective or unreasonably dangerous at the time you purchased it or if you used it incorrectly because it lacked proper warnings.
Under the concept of “strict liability,” a lawsuit can be filed without the need to prove negligence or fault if an injury is caused by a dangerous product. This makes it easier for an injured consumer to sue either the product manufacturer or the store where the product was purchased. Both state and federal laws apply to product liability cases, making it confusing at times to know the best place to file a lawsuit. This is especially true if a manufacturer operates in a number of states. The lawyers at The Ferraro Law Firm have vast experience handling product liabillity cases. They will study the circumstances surrounding your product injury and help you collect suitable compensation.
At the law firm of The Ferraro Law Firm in Miami, Florida, our trial lawyers have a track record of successfully taking on large corporations and recovering millions of dollars in compensation for our seriously injured clients.

The Ferraro Law Firm can assist you in determining if you are entitled to compensation for your injuries.
