Product Liability Lawyer

Product liability is an area of personal injury law focused on injuries that defective products can cause to innocent victims. You may have a product liability case in Texas if:

• You or a loved one suffered an injury while using a product in a reasonably safe manner
• The product would not be considered inherently unsafe
• The product manufacturer did not provide any sort of warning or instructions that could have prevented the injury

Product liability cases tend to be difficult because it can be hard to prove that the defective product caused an injury and because the defendants in these cases tend to be large corporations with teams of attorneys and extensive resources.

However, with the product liability lawyers of The Reed & Terry Law Firm on your side, your chances of success greatly increase. Our Houston-area attorneys have secured millions of dollars in positive verdicts and settlements for personal injury victims over the last 30 years, and we are not afraid of major corporations or their insurance companies.

Any product can be defective and cause an injury, but some products are potentially more hazardous than others, including:

• Airbags
• Air-conditioning systems
• Appliances
• Car seats
• Cooking equipment
• Locks
• Medical devices
• Motor vehicle parts
• Over-the-counter medication
• Pharmaceuticals
• Playground equipment
• Power tools
• Seat belts
• Talcum baby powder
• Tires
• Toys with small pieces
• Vape pens

Our product liability lawyers work on a contingency basis, which means that you only have to pay us if we win your case. If we do not recover compensation for you through a settlement or jury verdict, then you won't owe us anything.

Matters of product liability can be complicated from the start because it can be difficult to determine who is responsible for the product's defects. Should victims and their attorneys pursue legal action against product manufacturers, or against the retailer or individual who sold the product?

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 82 makes clear that, in most circumstances, it is the product manufacturer who is legally liable for harm caused by defective products. Product sellers may be liable if it can be proven that they altered the product in some way, that they installed the product incorrectly, that they intentionally lied about the safety of the product, or that they knowingly sold a defective product.

During your free consultation, our lawyers will review the circumstances of your injury in order to determine who to hold liable in your product liability claim.
