Boca Raton Product Liability Lawyers
The e-bike battery that ignited. The ladder that buckled. The medication with the buried warning. When products fail, Florida law holds their makers strictly liable — no proof of carelessness required. Shiner Law Group builds these cases from our Boca headquarters with engineering-grade evidence, and no fee unless we win.
Injured by a Defective Product in Boca Raton?
Product cases carry a power most injury claims don't: strict liability. Prove the product was defective and the defect caused your injury, and the manufacturer is liable — regardless of how careful they claim their processes were. Florida recognizes three defect types: design (the whole line is dangerous), manufacturing (your unit deviated from spec), and failure to warn (risks the maker knew and didn't disclose).
Liability runs down the whole chain of distribution — manufacturer, component makers, importers, distributors, and retailers — which matters enormously when the maker is overseas and the retailer is the reachable defendant. And one rule towers over everything: the product itself is the case. Don't repair it, don't return it, don't let an insurer "inspect" it and lose it. Preserve it exactly as it failed.
From lithium battery fires to failed safety guards to dangerous drugs, Shiner Law Group works product cases with the experts they demand — engineers, human-factors specialists, and medical causation testimony. You pay nothing unless we win.
No upfront cost, ever. Every case is handled on a strict contingency fee. Call (561) 777-7700 for a free, confidential consultation, available 24/7 from offices across Florida.

What to Do After a Product Injury — Step by Step
The steps you take in the first hours and days can make or break your claim.
Get Medical Care First
Document injuries immediately - the medical record ties the failure to the harm.
Preserve the Product
Keep it exactly as it failed - plus packaging, manuals, and receipts. Do not repair, alter, return, or discard it.
Photograph Everything
The product, the failure point, the scene, and your injuries.
Save Purchase Records
Receipts, order confirmations, and registration - they establish the chain of distribution.
Don't Give It to Anyone
Not the store, not the manufacturer, not an insurer. Possession of the evidence is leverage.

Florida Product Law: Three Defects, One Powerful Doctrine
Strict liability changes what you must prove — and who must pay.
Design Defects
The product is unreasonably dangerous as designed — every unit shares the flaw. Proven through engineering analysis and safer-alternative-design evidence.
Manufacturing Defects
Your unit deviated from its own specifications — a bad weld, contaminated batch, or missing component. The product itself is Exhibit A.
Failure to Warn
Makers must warn of non-obvious risks they knew or should have known. Buried disclosures, missing warnings, and inadequate instructions all qualify.
Dangerous Products, By the Numbers
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announces hundreds of product recalls in a typical year, collectively covering millions of units — and has warned of a sharp rise in lithium-ion battery fires from e-bikes, scooters, and devices.

12 Years: Florida's Outer Limit
