Big product manufacturers have teams of lawyers on their side. They’re trained to do everything possible to minimize the amount of money you take home.

If you were injured because of a defective consumer product, the company that’s responsible should be accountable for all of your losses. That includes your economic damages (your financial losses) and your non-economic damages (your personal, intangible losses).

“Blame the victim” is a common insurance scare tactic in cases involving negligence. If the insurance company succeeds in blaming you, you could lose your right to recover damages under Texas modified comparative negligence rules.
Under Texas law, victims can seek compensation if they’re less than 51% responsible for their injuries. In these cases, your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
If you’re at least 51% liable for your injuries, you lose your right to pursue compensation.
Defective products can cause severe injuries and even death. The range of possible injuries is far-reaching.

Texas product liability laws can protect you if you were injured because of a defective product.
Victims in product liability cases don’t always have to prove negligence. Strict liability laws apply as long as you were using the product as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way. In other words, companies that design, manufacture, and sell products can be held strictly liable for their product defects.
To establish liability, you’ll have to prove that the product suffered from a defect that made it unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.
There are three types of product defects:
Any one of these defects can cause a product to become unreasonably dangerous.
Products that suffer from design defects are inherently flawed. Even if everything goes according to plan, some flaw in the design makes it dangerous. Manufacturers can be held liable if a reasonably safe alternative design exists.
To recover compensation based on design defects, you’ll have to prove:
If no reasonable, safe alternative exists, the company still has a duty to warn consumers about the risks.
Some products only become defective because of errors in the manufacturing process. The product’s design may be safe, but a mistake in putting the product together can make it dangerous.
For example, if a batch of prescription drugs is contaminated during the manufacturing process, that batch may suffer from a defect. Manufacturing defects can impact a single item or an entire batch of products.
Some types of products are dangerous regardless of how they’re manufactured or designed. For example, it’s impossible to eliminate all risks associated with using a chainsaw.
Still, manufacturers have a duty to warn consumers about non-obvious risks.
For example, drug manufacturing companies have a duty to warn patients about the risks associated with their medications.
It’s also possible that the product manufacturer was negligent. Negligence means that the at-fault party failed to exercise reasonable caution under the circumstances. If someone was injured because of those careless actions, the company could be held liable.
The statute of limitations in Texas personal injury cases is two years. You’ll have two years from the date of your injury to build your case and file a personal injury lawsuit. If you wait too long, you’ll lose your right to sue for damages.
Don’t make the mistake of assuming you have plenty of time to pursue your case. Delays in filing a personal injury lawsuit can weaken your case. Our lawyers are ready to get started today, so call today for your free initial consultation.
