Products Liability & Defective Products

Products Liability & Defective Products Lawyer in Miami

Serving South Florida From North Miami Since 1988

When a defective product harms you or someone you love, the fallout can be devastating and far-reaching. The physical injuries, emotional distress, and financial costs that follow often require more than just repairs or treatment—they demand accountability and legal action.

At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we bring over 35 years of experience representing victims of products liability throughout South Florida. Every year, thousands of injuries and deaths result from defects in the design, manufacture, and marketing of all kinds of products—cars, airbags, sports equipment, household appliances, computer batteries, tools, toys, prescription drugs, and industrial equipment. Our firm is here to hold manufacturers and sellers responsible and secure the compensation you deserve.

What Is Products Liability & Defective Products?

Products liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers, distributors, or sellers for injuries caused by defective or dangerous products. A defect can stem from flawed design, manufacturing errors, or inadequate warnings, turning everyday items into hazards.

Even a seemingly safe product can cause severe harm if it fails due to a preventable flaw.

Common Causes of Products Liability & Defective Product Cases

Defective products can injure users in countless ways. At the Law Office of Mark Wolin, we’ve seen cases involving:

  • Design Flaws: Poorly engineered cars, airbags, or tools that fail under normal use.
  • Manufacturing Defects: Faulty household appliances, computer batteries, or industrial equipment breaking unexpectedly.
  • Inadequate Warnings: Missing or unclear instructions on toys, prescription drugs, or sports equipment.
  • Substandard Materials: Weak components in furniture or vehicles causing collapse or injury.
  • Packaging Errors: Contaminated or improperly sealed products like drugs or food.
  • Marketing Misrepresentation: False safety claims about appliances or equipment.
  • Recall Delays: Companies failing to warn consumers of known defects in time.

In a products liability case, the most important thing is to secure the product following the incident. If the product is not in your possession, we advise that you consult with an attorney as soon as possible afterwards to secure the product involved.

Symptoms and Long-Term Effects of Defective Product Injuries

Injuries from defective products can disrupt your life entirely. Symptoms may be immediate or emerge later, requiring prompt action.

Common Symptoms of Defective Product Injuries:

  • Cuts, burns, or bruises
  • Pain in limbs or joints
  • Breathing difficulties or allergic reactions
  • Headaches, dizziness, or nausea
  • Electrical shocks or burns
  • Emotional distress or fear

Long-Term Effects:

  • Permanent scarring or disfigurement
  • Chronic pain or organ damage
  • Loss of mobility or function
  • Emotional trauma or PTSD
  • Need for surgery or ongoing therapy
  • Death in extreme cases

Why You Need a Products Liability & Defective Products Attorney

Products liability cases are complex. Manufacturers and their insurers often deny defects or blame user error to avoid liability. Without expert legal representation, you risk losing the chance to recover what you need for medical care, lost wages, and justice.

At Mark Wolin’s Law Office, We Will:

  • Investigate the product’s defect and secure it as evidence
  • Gather engineering reports, recall data, and expert testimony
  • Prove the link between the defect and your injuries
  • Negotiate with corporations or litigate for a fair outcome
  • Fight for full compensation for your losses and suffering

Our investigative journalism roots and trial expertise help us tackle even the toughest defective product cases.

The Value of a Products Liability & Defective Products Case in Florida

The worth of a products liability claim depends on injury severity, future care needs, life impacts, and the company’s negligence.

You May Be Entitled To Compensation For:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Replacement or repair costs
  • Rehabilitation or therapy expenses
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Mark Wolin has secured substantial settlements and verdicts for defective product victims in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties. We work with engineers, medical experts, and economists to maximize your claim’s value.

Past Verdicts - Products Liability & Defective Products Case

Our client Mike was a 21-year old kid who loved auto racing. One afternoon, Mike and some buddies went “off road” with their all-terrain vehicles (ATV’s).

When Mike went over a hill, his ATV flipped and came down on top of him. A handle bar installed on the back of the ATV crunched into Mike’s spinal chord, leaving him paralyzed.

With our late colleague and mentor, “Chips” Virgin, we developed proof that the Japanese manufacturer of the ATV knew it had a propensity to tip, knew of similar spinal chord injuries, including those of the type and kind resulting here, but had issued no recall or warning, and that safer engineering alternatives were available and feasible.

Today, Mike is literally a walking miracle. This is testament to his own incredible spirit, and a success story for the University of Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Spinal Chord Rehabilitation Center [LINK]. He has two sons and a lovely wife, and has regained sufficient mobility to get behind the wheel of a race car. To us, Mike is a real-life hero.

The seven figure-settlement from the Japanese maker of the ATV we helped obtain for him afforded Mike the opportunity to thrive and live productively that he might not otherwise have had.

If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of a dangerous or unsafe product of any kind, please call us directly for a free consultation.
