Defective Products Liability

Florida law allows a person injured by a defective or unsafe product to recover his or her losses.

Wooten, Honeywell, Kimbrough, Gibson, Doherty & Normand has successfully represented many clients in cases against manufacturers and designers of various products, including automobiles, aircraft, pharmaceutical and medical products, firearms and machinery. Some examples include:

• A teenage girl was taking a popular over-the-counter diet pill and sustained a crippling brain injury. The product contained phenylpropanolamine (PPA), an ingredient that was reported to cause strokes and other serious health conditions. A lawsuit was brought against the manufacturer of this diet pill for including such a dangerous ingredient in a product with no adequate warnings about this dangerous ingredient. The case was concluded under confidential terms and the diet pill no longer contains this ingredient.
• A truck rollover case involved a Plaintiff who sustained a closed-head injury when his pick-up truck went out of control and rolled, ejecting him from the vehicle. Plaintiff’s counsel was able to prove that the pick-up truck had become unstable and "top-heavy" due to "lifting" the truck. The Plaintiff had purchased separate components, springs, blocks and oversized tires to achieve the "lifting." Counsel was successful in obtaining a settlement of just under $1 million dollars by proving inadequate and lack of warnings on the part of the manufacturers and the vendors of the individual components
