Florida law at a glance
- Product liability claims in Florida can be based on strict liability, negligence, or breach of warranty.
- Florida uses modified comparative fault: a claimant found more than 50 percent at fault generally cannot recover damages (section 768.81, Florida Statutes).
- Florida has specific deadlines for these claims, including a statute of repose for many products (section 95.031), so timing should be checked early.
