Product liability law consists of three areas under which liability is determined and recovery is applied: strict liability, negligence, and breach of warranty.

Strict LiabilityGeneral personal injury lawsuits require proof of negligence. However, in a product liability claim, strict liability is applied. Strict liability holds a manufacturer responsible for a defective product, even if the manufacturer was not guilty of negligence. NegligenceWhen a manufacturer, distributor, or vendor acts recklessly and causes a victim’s injuries, the responsible party is considered legally negligent. The difficulty of proving negligence makes these types of product liability claims rare. Breach of WarrantyA warranty is violated when a promise is broken; for example, when the condition of a product fails to meet reasonable quality standards at the time of sale. An express warranty is typically a guarantee from the seller of a product specifying the extent to which its quality or performance is assured and stating the conditions under which the product can be returned, replaced, or repaired. All products come with an implied warranty, under which they are presumed to be safe for their intended use. At McElyea & Barnard, P.A., we provide Orlando and Central Florida injury victims with the highest standard of representation.
