Every day, Floridians use hundreds of products — from vehicles and appliances to prescription medications and medical devices — trusting that they are safe. Unfortunately, when corporations cut corners or put profits over people, these everyday products can cause devastating injuries, permanent disabilities, or even death.
At Moore Payne Law, Attorneys Geoff Moore and Spencer Payne represent consumers harmed by defective products and unsafe drugs throughout Florida. Their mission is clear: to hold negligent manufacturers and distributors accountable and to make sure victims receive the compensation they need to move forward.
Understanding Product Liability Law in Florida
Under Florida law, product liability refers to holding manufacturers, distributors, and retailers legally responsible when their products are unreasonably dangerous and cause harm.
Product defects typically fall into three categories:
- 1.
- Design Defects – The product’s design is inherently unsafe (e.g., a car model prone to tire blowouts or fires).
- 2.
- Manufacturing Defects – A problem during production or assembly makes certain items defective (e.g., contaminated medication or faulty wiring).
- 3.
- Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects) – A product lacks adequate warnings, instructions, or labeling about known dangers.
Victims don’t have to prove intent — only that the product was defective, caused injury, and was used as intended or in a foreseeable way.
Common Examples of Defective Products
Moore Payne Law handles a wide range of defective product cases, including:
- Automobile defects: faulty brakes, defective airbags, or malfunctioning steering systems.
- Medical devices: failed implants, surgical mesh, or pacemakers that malfunction.
- Dangerous pharmaceuticals: medications that cause undisclosed or life-threatening side effects.
- Defective consumer goods: household appliances, children’s toys, or tools that explode, catch fire, or fail during use.
- Industrial equipment: unsafe machinery causing burns, amputations, or electrocution.
- Chemical products: toxic cleaners, pesticides, or batteries with fire or explosion risks.
These cases often uncover systemic failures in corporate safety practices — and Moore Payne Law is prepared to expose them.
Dangerous and Defective Drugs
Prescription drugs are meant to heal — but when pharmaceutical companies rush products to market or hide risks from the public, patients suffer.
Examples of dangerous drug claims include:
- Medications linked to heart failure, cancer, or stroke.
- Painkillers that caused addiction due to misleading marketing.
- Birth control or antidepressants causing blood clots or birth defects.
- Over-the-counter drugs contaminated with harmful substances.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers have a legal duty to conduct proper testing, disclose all known side effects, and warn both doctors and consumers. When they fail, Moore Payne Law holds them accountable.
Why Unsafe Products Reach Consumers
Defective products and dangerous drugs often reach the public because of corporate negligence or deliberate concealment.
Common causes include:
- Insufficient testing before release.
- Ignoring internal safety warnings to protect profits.
- Inadequate quality control during manufacturing.
- Failure to recall known defective items.
- Lack of clear safety labeling or consumer instructions.
Moore Payne Law investigates these failures through in-depth discovery and expert collaboration — uncovering how corporate decisions put consumers at risk.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Product Liability Case
Multiple parties may share responsibility for a defective product, including:
- The manufacturer of the product or its components.
- The distributor or wholesaler who moved the product into the marketplace.
- The retailer who sold it to the public.
- The testing laboratory that certified it as safe.
- The pharmaceutical company that marketed it improperly.
Every link in the supply chain has a duty to protect consumers. Moore Payne Law ensures each responsible party is held accountable for their role in causing harm.
Proving a Product Liability Case
To succeed, a product liability claim must show 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 or death.
- 4.
- The product was used properly or foreseeably.
Moore Payne Law builds powerful cases using:
- Expert testimony from engineers, scientists, and safety professionals.
- Internal company records exposing negligence or concealment.
- Product testing and reconstruction to identify failure points.
- Medical evidence documenting the full scope of injury.
Their trial-ready approach ensures victims receive the strongest possible advocacy — both in negotiations and the courtroom.
Compensation Available to Victims
Victims injured by defective products or drugs may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- Medical expenses: emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment.
- Lost wages and future income loss.
- Pain and suffering, including emotional trauma and reduced quality of life.
- Disfigurement or permanent disability.
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members.
- Punitive damages when corporations knowingly ignore safety risks.
Moore Payne Law works to ensure compensation reflects not just short-term costs but the true, lifelong impact of the injury.
