Product liability is the body of law that concerns manufacturers’ duties to their customers. Our state observes the law of strict liability, which means businesses need to make sure every product they sell is reasonably safe. If a product is found to be dangerous to consumers, the company selling it is responsible regardless of whether they were intentionally negligent.

At the offices of St. Petersburg defective product lawyers Beltz & Ruth, P.A., we strongly believe in everyone’s right to buy products and trust that they will be safe. If you or someone in your family has been hurt by a dangerously flawed product, we are ready to help you. Call our offices at 1-800-931-8106 to learn about the legal services we offer.

There are state and federal regulations meant to keep consumers safe, yet dangerous products continue to be placed on the market with alarming frequency. Some examples of the more common flaws in consumer products include:

• Defective Drugs
• Toxic Food Products and Containers
• Dangerous Childcare Products and Toys
• All-Terrain Vehicles (ATV’s)
• Manufacturing Defects
• Design Defects

If you or a loved one has been hurt while using a defective product, a St. Petersburg product liability lawyer can inform you about your legal rights and responsibilities.

Of course, if an adult is hurt while misusing a product, the manufacturer is generally not liable. To win product liability damages, you need to be able to effectively show that:

• You have been significantly injured while using the product
• You were using the product as intended, or in a reasonable way
• The product’s flaws directly caused your injuries

Having an experienced attorney on your side can greatly increase your chances of success.

If you have been hurt by a defective or dangerous consumer product, contact St. Petersburg defective product attorneys Beltz & Ruth, P.A., today by calling 1-800-931-8106.
