When a product is blamed for injury or loss, the case rarely stays small: one claim becomes a docket, a recall, a reputation problem, and sometimes a class action. Lawson Huck Gonzalez represents manufacturers, distributors, and sellers in product liability litigation across Florida — design and manufacturing defect claims, failure-to-warn theories, and warranty disputes — in individual actions and at aggregate scale.

Our product liability work is closely integrated with the firm’s mass tort and class action practice, including Michael Kelley‘s current leadership role in a major product liability class action, so clients get one strategy across individual suits, coordinated proceedings, and appellate review.

How we handle product cases

  • Science and supply chain. Building the technical record early — design history, warnings, and causation — where these cases are decided.
  • Aggregate-risk thinking. Managing individual claims with an eye on the portfolio: consistency, precedent, and class exposure.
  • Trial and appellate readiness. Prepared to try the case and to protect the verdict on appeal.
