Representing Individuals Injured by Defective and Dangerous Products Across Florida

Experienced Representation for Product Liability Cases

Consumers trust that the products they purchase are safe to use. Whether it is a household appliance, vehicle component, medical device, or children's product, manufacturers have a responsibility to design, produce, and distribute products that do not place consumers at risk. When companies fail to meet this responsibility, serious injuries can occur.

At Tanney, Griffith & Bresler, P.A., we represent individuals injured by defective and dangerous products throughout Clearwater, Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, Pasco County, and across Florida. Since 1956, our firm has focused exclusively on representing injured individuals and their families. We do not represent manufacturers, corporations, or insurance companies. Our goal is to help victims pursue accountability and fair compensation after preventable injuries.

Product liability refers to legal claims that arise when a defective or dangerous product causes injury. Manufacturers, distributors, and sellers all have a duty to ensure that products are reasonably safe when used as intended.

When a defective product causes harm, one or more parties in the distribution chain may be held responsible, including:

  • Product manufacturers
  • Component part manufacturers
  • Distributors or wholesalers
  • Retailers or sellers
These cases often involve large companies and complex investigations. Our attorneys work to identify responsible parties and pursue compensation on behalf of injured individuals.

Common Types of Product Defects

Product liability claims generally fall into several categories. Understanding the type of defect involved is an important step in building a strong case.

  • Design Defects - A design defect occurs when a product is inherently dangerous due to the way it was designed. Even when manufactured correctly, the product may pose risks to users.
  • Manufacturing Defects - Manufacturing defects occur during production. These defects may affect only certain units or batches of a product, but they can still cause serious injuries.
  • Failure to Warn or Inadequate Instructions - Manufacturers must provide proper warnings and instructions. Missing, misleading, or unclear information can lead to unsafe use and serious injuries.
