Every day, Floridians rely on countless products — from prescription medications and vehicles to household appliances and medical devices. We trust that these products are safe when used as intended. But when manufacturers cut corners or rush defective products to market, the results can be catastrophic — explosions, toxic exposure, or fatal drug reactions.
At Moore Payne Law, Attorneys Geoff Moore and Spencer Payne stand up for individuals and families harmed by defective products and dangerous drugs. They believe corporations must be held accountable when their negligence endangers lives — and they fight to secure justice for consumers across Florida.
Understanding Product Liability Law in Florida
Product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, and retailers responsible when a product is defectively designed, manufactured, or labeled and causes injury.
Under Florida law, companies can be held strictly liable for harm caused by defective products. This means victims do not need to prove intent or negligence — only that:
- 1.
- The product was defective or unreasonably dangerous;
- 2.
- The defect existed when it left the manufacturer’s control;
- 3.
- The defect directly caused injury while the product was used as intended.
The purpose of Florida’s product liability laws is clear: to protect consumers and discourage corporations from prioritizing profits over safety.
Common Types of Product Liability Cases
Moore Payne Law handles a broad range of product liability and defective drug cases across Florida, including:
1. Defective Medical Devices
Implants, pacemakers, surgical mesh, and joint replacements are meant to help patients — but when defective, they can cause infection, organ failure, or death.
2. Dangerous Drugs and Pharmaceuticals
Prescription medications should improve health, not destroy it. Unfortunately, poor testing, misleading labels, or hidden side effects often lead to severe injuries such as heart attacks, strokes, or birth defects.
3. Defective Vehicles and Auto Parts
Faulty brakes, airbags, tires, or seatbelts can turn minor accidents into deadly events. Moore Payne Law investigates whether manufacturers ignored known defects or delayed safety recalls.
4. Consumer Product Defects
Household products — such as electronics, power tools, or children’s toys — can cause burns, electrocution, or choking hazards. When warnings are inadequate or designs unsafe, manufacturers can be held liable.
5. Industrial and Workplace Equipment Failures
Defective machinery or protective gear can endanger workers. These cases often involve both product liability and workplace injury claims, requiring attorneys who understand both areas of law — exactly what Moore Payne Law provides.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
Product liability claims often involve multiple responsible parties, including:
- Manufacturers: for poor design, production errors, or lack of safety testing.
- Distributors and Retailers: for selling unsafe products or failing to provide warnings.
- Pharmaceutical Companies: for concealing side effects or releasing unsafe medications.
- Component Suppliers: for defective parts that make a final product dangerous.
Moore Payne Law identifies every responsible entity to ensure victims recover maximum compensation.
Common Causes of Defective Product Injuries
Behind many defective product cases lies corporate negligence. Common causes include:
- Inadequate testing or quality control
- Unsafe design or cost-cutting in materials
- Contaminated or expired drugs and medical products
- Missing or misleading safety warnings
- Concealing known risks from consumers
When companies value profits more than safety, innocent people pay the price. Moore Payne Law works tirelessly to expose these failures through detailed investigation and expert analysis.
Proving a Product Liability Case in Florida
These cases require a combination of legal skill and technical expertise. Moore Payne Law collaborates with engineers, scientists, and medical experts to build strong, evidence-based claims.
To succeed, a plaintiff must prove that:
- 1.
- The product was defective or unreasonably dangerous;
- 2.
- The defect existed before it reached the consumer;
- 3.
- The defect directly caused injury or death; and
- 4.
- The product was used properly or in a foreseeable way.
Evidence often includes recall records, company documents, lab testing results, and expert testimony. Moore Payne Law ensures that no detail is overlooked in uncovering the truth.
Compensation for Victims of Defective Products
Victims of defective products may face overwhelming medical bills, lost income, and long-term suffering. Compensation may include:
- Medical expenses: hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and medications
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
- Wrongful death damages for families of deceased victims
In cases involving willful misconduct — such as hiding known dangers — punitive damages may also be awarded to punish corporations and deter future negligence.

Defective Drug Cases: A Growing Concern in Florida
Pharmaceutical negligence is one of the most dangerous forms of corporate misconduct. In recent years, several medications have been recalled after causing severe side effects such as heart problems, organ failure, or cancer.
Moore Payne Law investigates these claims thoroughly, representing victims harmed by:
- Unsafe prescription drugs
- Over-the-counter medications with undisclosed risks
- Contaminated or mislabeled pharmaceutical products
- Defective implants, stents, and other medical devices
Fighting large pharmaceutical companies takes persistence, deep medical understanding, and legal skill — and Moore Payne Law brings all three to every case.
What to Do If You’ve Been Injured by a Defective Product or Drug
If you believe a defective product or drug caused your injury:
- 1.
- Stop using the product immediately and keep it as evidence.
- 2.
- Seek medical attention and document your injuries.
- 3.
- Save packaging, receipts, and user instructions.
- 4.
- Report the issue to your doctor, manufacturer, or the FDA (if applicable).
- 5.
- Contact Moore Payne Law as soon as possible to protect your rights.
