What type of evidence do I need to prove a product defect?

In order to prove a product defect in Florida, you need to present evidence of a defect in the product. The defect must be unreasonably dangerous—i.e., it presents an unreasonable risk of harm or injury to a consumer or user. To prove a product defect, you may need to provide evidence such as photographs of the product, witness statements, product testing or lab results, and/or expert testimony. You may also need to show that the product was improperly manufactured, designed, or labeled, or that the product lacked adequate warnings or instructions. Additionally, you may need to present evidence that demonstrates the injury or harm that was caused by the product defect. This could include medical records, doctor’s notes, and/or medical bills. Ultimately, the type of evidence needed to prove a product defect will vary depending on the specific circumstances of your case, so it is important to speak to an attorney to assess your legal options.
