Q: I have a Florida product liability/fraud theory lawsuit. What statute do I base the claim on?
A:
You are speaking of two different legal theories here. The reason your question remains open for two weeks could be that the matter suggests something more complex than one where a Florida attorney could offer a quick turnkey answer. Product liability lawsuits, to oversimplify, are based on demonstrating that an injury arose because of a defective and unsafe product. Fraud, again in very basic terms, is an intentional act of deceit or misrepresentation with knowledge that another party will rely on it to their detriment. One option you have is to contact a Florida attorney to discuss what legal theories or laws could apply, as there could be more than one. Good luck
