Does comparative fault regarding burn injuries arising from a defective vehicle apply in crashworthiness or enhanced injury cases?

 

A: Under Florida law, in a Florida Child Injury lawsuit arising from a defective vehicle, the principles of comparative fault concerning whether the plaintiff was at fault for the underlying vehicle accident will not ordinarily apply in crashworthiness or enhanced injury cases. In other words, regardless of whether the plaintiff was at fault for the actual car accident, if the car was defectively manufactured or designed and caused burn injuries, the manufacturer will be held liable.
