What Is Product Liability?

Under Texas law, companies that manufacture or design consumer products have a responsibility to make sure those products are reasonably safe. Often, companies don’t conduct adequate safety testing before selling products to consumers.

“Product liability” means that when companies allow defective products to be sold to consumers without adequate warning about the dangers, they can be held liable for damages.

How Much Is My Dallas Product Liability Case Worth?

You deserve to understand how much your case is worth before accepting any insurance deal.

When calculating your personal injury case value, our lawyers will consider:

  • The types of injuries you have suffered
  • The nature of the at-fault party’s actions
  • Whether the defendant knew or reasonably should have known the product was defective
  • The cost of your medical treatment and your prognosis for recovery
  • How the injury impacts your current and future earnings
  • How the injury impacts your lifestyle and quality of life
  • Whether others have suffered similar injuries using the product
  • Whether you’re eligible to participate in a class action or multi-district litigation (MDL)
  • Whether you used the product as intended or directed

Many injured parties accept a fast settlement to get cash in their pockets quickly. Because so many factors are relevant in assessing your case value, it’s important to consult an experienced attorney before accepting. Accepting a settlement offer before having an attorney review your case can mean you’ll receive less money than you really deserve.

Depending on the facts, you may be entitled to compensation for:

How Do I Prove Liability in a Texas Product Liability Case? 

If you were injured in a car accident or slip and fall, you’ll be required to prove negligence to recover compensation from the responsible party. 

Product liability cases are handled differently. While some claims can be based on negligence, you are not always required to prove the product manufacturer was negligent to recover damages. Instead, you can seek compensation based on strict liability laws. In these cases, you must identify the product defect that caused your injuries.

Three types of defects can give you a valid product liability claim:

  • Design defects
  • Manufacturing defects
  • Marketing defects, or failure to warn

Each type of defect can cause a product to become unreasonably dangerous.

Design Defects

Products that suffer from design defects are inherently dangerous even if assembled according to their design. When a reasonably safe alternative design exists, manufacturers are required to adopt that design.

Many different factors are relevant in determining whether there is a reasonably safe alternate design, including:

  • The cost of adopting the alternative design
  • Whether the product will function as intended using the alternative design
  • The usefulness of the product as designed
  • The nature of the risks associated with the current design

Design defects impact an entire line of products. In these cases, it’s very likely that others have suffered the same type of harm that you have sustained. Our lawyers are here to help you prove it.

Manufacturing Defects

Manufacturing defects can impact a single product or a batch of products. These defects occur when the manufacturer makes a mistake during the assembly process. For example, if a batch of prescription drugs becomes contaminated during manufacturing, it will be deemed to suffer from a manufacturing defect.

Marketing Defects

Some dangers can’t be eliminated during the design or manufacturing process. Companies must warn consumers about any non-obvious dangers involved with using the product. That’s why products contain instructions and warning labels.

If the company fails to warn about a defect that they knew or should have known about, you may have a valid product liability claim.

How Long Do I Have To File a Product Liability Lawsuit After I Was Injured in Texas?

The statute of limitations in Texas personal injury cases is two years. The two-year clock starts to run on the date you were injured. 

In cases involving illnesses that are developed over time, the clock starts ticking on the date you are diagnosed or reasonably should know about the harm you have suffered.

Texas also has a “statute of repose.” Regardless of when you are injured or discover your injuries, you cannot sue for damages if more than 15 years have passed since you purchased the product.
