Product Liability

Houston Product Liability Lawyer: Pursuing Defective Product Claims

Defective products cause thousands of injuries each year in Houston, affecting consumers and workers through everyday items such as automotive parts, household appliances, power tools, medical devices, children's toys, and industrial equipment used in the city's energy, manufacturing, and construction sectors. Defects typically fall into three categories: design flaws that make the product inherently unsafe even when manufactured correctly, manufacturing errors that occur during production (such as contaminated materials or assembly mistakes), and inadequate warnings or instructions that fail to alert users to known risks or proper usage.

‍

Texas applies strict liability in product cases, meaning victims do not need to prove negligence, only that the product was defective when it left the manufacturer or distributor, that the defect directly caused the injury, and that the product was being used as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way. Common injuries include severe burns from exploding batteries or faulty wiring, deep lacerations or amputations from sharp or malfunctioning components, bone fractures in accidents, chronic health conditions from toxic exposure (like lead or chemicals), long-term disabilities requiring ongoing medical care, and in some cases wrongful death.

‍

Our Houston product liability lawyers handle these complex, high-stakes lawsuits against manufacturers, distributors, and retailers by reviewing product testing data, recall histories from agencies like the CPSC or FDA, engineering expert reports, consumer safety complaints, and manufacturing records to establish the defect and prove causation.

‍

The two-year statute of limitations is strict, requiring prompt action to preserve evidence and avoid claim bars. We also navigate modified comparative negligence rules, where compensation may be reduced if partial fault is alleged, but barred entirely if over 51%.

‍

We work on a contingency fee basis with no upfront fees or hourly charges. You only pay if we successfully recover compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and potentially punitive damages in cases of gross misconduct.

‍

With Houston's industrial and consumer heavy environment, our firm has deep experience holding large corporations accountable.
