Recoverable Losses for Your Margate Product Liability Claim
How much you will recover in a compensation settlement or verdict usually depends on the severity of your injuries and the actions of those responsible for the defect and subsequent harm you suffered. Your damages may include:
- Income lost from the onset of your injury to now, as well as any loss of future income or earning potential
- Medical expenses, ranging from your initial ambulance ride and hospital stay to medications, surgeries, rehab, prosthetic devices, long-term care, and transportation to and from appointments
- Out-of-pocket expenses, such as deductibles and co-pays, household help, or childcare
- Pain and suffering, including the physical pain from the injury and lingering pain during recovery or lasting months or years longer
- Mental anguish, depression, and anxiety
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages, such as funeral and burial costs and loss of household income, if you lost a loved one due to a defective product
Our Margate defective product attorneys will help you identify all of the losses you’ve endured, as a thorough accounting is critical for your claim. Call Ged Lawyers today for more information.

“I’d say hiring GED Law was a great decision but reality is that I felt extremely lucky that they took my case. The 1st attorney Michael was fantastic and extremely supportive of my wife and me being with us at our depositions. Shara, the Senior Paralegal was on top of everything from start to finish. Marc, my attorney at the end of the process was a straight shooter and I whole heartedly believe that he achieved the best outcome for me and my wife . . . The level of ethics and professionalism they demonstrated throughout the entire process was so comforting. I will always be grateful to the GED Law team for what they did for me . . . “ —B.C.

Types of Product Defects That Quality for a Product Liability Case
Defective products can include almost anything, from umbrellas and hair dryers to children’s toys and medications. If you’re unsure whether you have a case, a Margate product liability attorney from our team can help you.
There are three common types of product defects:
- Design defects: The defect that resulted in your injury may have begun with the product’s design, meaning all identical products manufactured are defective.
- Manufacturing defects: The product may have been poorly constructed, or the materials used may have been second-rate, causing a manufacturing defect.
- Marketing defects: False marketing claims or lack of appropriate warnings of risks associated with using the product may result in a marketing defect.
The Statute of Limitations for Product Liability Cases
If you believe you have a product liability case, it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. Florida typically allows you two years from the date of your injury to begin legal action, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(a). However, in some cases, the deadline may be longer or shorter. A personal injury lawyer experienced in product liability law can address how the time limit may apply to your case.
