How do you know if you have a product liability case?

You may have a product liability case if a product hurt you while you were using it as intended. The central question is this: Was the product defective or unreasonably dangerous?
A few things can help answer that. Did the product break or malfunction during normal use? Was a warning label missing or unclear? Did the company know about the danger and say nothing? If any of these apply, you could have a valid claim.
Texas law holds companies in the supply chain responsible, including manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. You do not need to sort this out on your own. A Fort Worth product liability lawyer can review your situation and explain your options at no cost.

Helpful Information

What should you do after a defective product injures you?

Your health is the priority. See a doctor right away, even if you feel okay. Some injuries are not obvious until hours or days later.

After that, preserve the evidence. Do not throw away or repair the product. Take photos of the product, your injury, and the scene. Hold on to the packaging, receipt, and any instructions or manuals.

Write down everything you remember while details are fresh: the date, time, and exactly how you were using the product. Notes like these can matter later in a claim.

Then speak with a product liability attorney. In most cases, Texas gives you two years from the date of injury to file a claim. Waiting can make it harder to protect your rights. A Fort Worth attorney can walk you through your next steps.

How long does a product liability case take?

No two cases move at the same pace. Some resolve in a matter of months. Others can take a year or longer, depending on how many companies are involved, how severe the injury is, and whether expert analysis is needed.

Our Fort Worth team works to keep your case moving. We do not delay, and we do not push you into a settlement that does not reflect the full value of your claim. You will hear from us regularly so you are never left wondering where things stand.

Can you file a claim if you were not the one who bought the product?

In most cases, yes. Texas product liability law does not require you to be the original buyer. If a defective product hurt you, you may have a claim regardless of who purchased it or how you came to use it. What matters is whether the product was defective and whether that defect caused your injury. A Fort Worth attorney can review the facts and help you understand your options.

Texas Law Statistics

Filing Deadline

Texas gives you two years to file most product liability claims — this deadline applies to cases filed in Tarrant County courts as well. Do not wait to speak with an attorney.

Settlement Rate

About 67% of product liability cases end in a plaintiff settlement (industry data). Early legal guidance may help you understand whether a settlement offer is fair.

Annual Injuries

Roughly 3 million people are hurt by defective products each year in the U.S. (CPSC estimates). Fort Worth residents are not exempt from defective auto parts, unsafe consumer goods, or dangerous medical devices.

Pre-Trial Resolution

Over 90% of product liability cases settle before going to trial (industry data). Our Fort Worth attorneys are prepared to litigate if a fair settlement is not reached.

Common Causes

Design Defects: Some products are dangerous before they ever leave the factory. If the original design is flawed, every unit built from that plan could cause harm. Design defects can affect everything from children’s toys to industrial equipment used at Fort Worth work sites.
Manufacturing Defects: A product can be designed correctly but still leave the factory with a flaw. An error during production may make certain units or entire batches unsafe. These defects may be harder to spot until something goes wrong.

Failure to Warn: Companies are required to inform users about known risks. When a product ships without proper warnings or adequate instructions, people get hurt. A missing or inadequate warning label can be the basis for a valid claim in Texas.

Medical Devices: Patients in Fort Worth rely on implants, surgical tools, pacemakers, and other devices to improve their health. When these devices fail, the consequences can be serious, including complications, additional surgeries, and lasting harm. Manufacturers can be held responsible.

Dangerous Drugs: Some medications reach patients without full disclosure of the risks involved. Hidden side effects, contamination, or mislabeled dosing information can cause serious harm. Fort Worth residents who have been hurt by prescription or over-the-counter drugs may have a claim.

Automotive Defects: Faulty brakes, defective airbags, worn-out tires, and steering failures put Fort Worth drivers at risk. These defects may cause a crash or make injuries worse when one occurs. Claims can be brought against the vehicle manufacturer, the parts maker, or the installer.

Product Types

Automotive

Defective tires, brakes, airbags, seat belts, and steering parts may cause accidents or make crashes worse. If a car part failed and you got hurt, you could have a claim.

Medical

Faulty implants, pacemakers, surgical tools, and prosthetics may cause serious patient harm. These devices are supposed to help you heal, not make things worse.

Prescription

Some drugs come with hidden dangers. Undisclosed side effects, contamination, or wrong dosing information may put patients at risk.

Consumer

Power tools, appliances, electronics, and household items can be defective. If a product you use at home injured you, the maker may be at fault.

Children's Products

Unsafe toys, cribs, car seats, and strollers can put kids in danger. Choking hazards, toxic materials, and design flaws are common issues we see.

Industrial

Construction machines, cranes, scaffolding, and other workplace tools can cause serious injuries. Workers hurt by faulty equipment may have a product liability claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product liability is the area of law that holds companies accountable when their products cause harm. This includes manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. If a defective product injured you while you were using it as intended, you may have a claim. The defect could involve the product's design, how it was made, or the warnings and instructions that came with it. Fort Worth residents can pursue these claims in Tarrant County courts.

Texas product liability law recognizes three types. Manufacturing defects occur when something goes wrong during production, making a unit or batch unsafe. Design defects mean the product's original plan was flawed, putting every unit at risk. Marketing defects involve missing or inadequate warnings about known dangers. Any of these could form the basis for a claim.

We handle a broad range of defective product cases in Fort Worth. These include automotive parts like faulty brakes, defective tires, and broken airbags. We also handle cases involving dangerous power tools, unsafe children's products, faulty home appliances, defective medical devices, and harmful prescription drugs. If a product hurt you, call us for a free consultation.

You may be able to. Defective auto parts are among the most common product liability claims we see. Faulty brakes, bad tires, malfunctioning airbags, and steering failures can cause crashes or worsen injuries. Depending on the circumstances, you could have a claim against the vehicle manufacturer, the parts supplier, or the installer. We can review the details of your situation at no cost.

Multiple parties across the supply chain may share responsibility. This could include the product's manufacturer, individual component makers, the distributor, the wholesaler, and the retailer. In some cases, the party who installed or repaired the product may also bear responsibility. Our Fort Worth attorneys investigate carefully to identify every party whose negligence may have contributed to your injury.
