Houston Defective Product Attorneys
Our Houston defective product attorneys are committed to providing personalized, compassionate, and aggressive legal support.
With millions of products introduced into the flow of commerce each year, some of them will inevitably be defective. Defective products cause millions of injuries annually.
Consumers are increasingly getting injured daily from product defects, medical equipment failures, and other everyday items.
Product liability law examines the causes of a defective product to determine who is liable and, once the responsible party is identified, helps the victim receive compensation for their injuries.
Both individual and class action lawsuits use the courts to help protect consumers when an item does not perform as it should.
Product liability law can be difficult and is fraught with complex issues related to the design and manufacture of an item. The Houston defective product attorneys at PMR Law can help.
With years of experience serving our clients, our Houston product defect attorneys know how to help you get the most compensation possible.
Everything that is produced and brought into the business stream is considered a product. Typically, defective products that cause injury fall into a few broad categories, such as:
Houston Defective Product Attorneys Can Help
With so many parts required for a product to function properly, a failing component can create a serious safety hazard and put anyone at risk of injury.
If the number of product recalls is any indication of the magnitude of the problem, in 2019 there were more than 2.9 million recalled products, representing an increase of more than 13% over the previous year.
Children are especially prone to injury as a result of items that were specifically designed for their use.
Parts that can catch on fire are particularly worrisome design and manufacturing defects that injure thousands of children each year.
There are more electronic devices in our homes today than there ever were before. From computers and televisions to cell phones and security systems, countless devices can fail and cause serious injury.
A faulty space heater, for example, can overheat, creating a fire hazard that can burn the victim and destroy a home in minutes.
With so many different types of products, any one of them can cause serious burn injuries when they don’t work the way they were intended.
If you were injured by a defective item, speak with our Houston defective product attorneys today. We can help determine who is responsible, and help you get the compensation you deserve.
There are three categories of defects when it comes to product liability. These three categories are:
Types of Defective Products
Defective designs are usually present until the planning phase of the item and are caused by a defect in the design of the product for its intended use.
This type of defect occurs when the product design is excessively dangerous and normally affects every unit of the product produced. This often requires a recall of the entire product line.
A manufacturing defect is one that did not exist in the production planning stage but is the result of a fault in the line that produced it.
Since the failure is not necessarily inherent in the design, typically only a small number of items suffer from the defect, requiring less recall.
Marketing defects occur when a product fails to advise a consumer of the reasonable risks associated with using the product.
A merchandising defect can be avoided by providing the consumer with a label that points out the inherent dangers of the item.
Often, if a product does not warn the consumer of a hazard that would be considered obvious, it might not be considered a marketing defect.
Defective Product Process
Defects in product liability cases require careful examination of the facts that led to the injury. Often, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff to establish that the defect existed in the first place.
There are other avenues of litigation in cases where it would be difficult for the plaintiff to establish that the defendant created a defective product.
Strict liability is a legal theory that allows the plaintiff to attribute liability without having to show that the manufacturer acted negligently.
Rather, it will hold a manufacturer liable simply for introducing an item, that caused an injury, in the commercial flow.
An experienced product defect attorney can provide assistance in navigating manufacturing defect and strict liability issues.
From the evidentiary issues to the amount of compensation available, a product defect lawyer understands how complex these cases can be.
