What Is Product Liability?
Product liability refers to the legal responsibility manufacturers, designers, and sellers have when a defective or dangerous product causes injury or harm. These cases often involve flaws in design, manufacturing errors, or a failure to warn consumers about known risks. At Law Done Right®, we hold negligent corporations accountable for the products they put into the world. Our attorneys, Joseph Schreiber and Erik Knockaert, personally investigate each case to ensure your voice is heard and justice is pursued.
Common Reasons for Product Liability Cases:
- Defective design that makes a product inherently unsafe even when used correctly
- Manufacturing errors that occur during production or assembly
- Failure to include adequate safety warnings or clear usage instructions
- Misleading marketing or false claims about a product’s safety or performance
- Use of substandard or contaminated materials in consumer or industrial products
- Negligent quality control or lack of product testing before release
- Improper labeling that conceals potential hazards or fails to meet regulatory standards
Types of Product Liability We Handle
Industrial Product Liability
Industrial accidents often stem from defective machinery, unsafe tools, or poorly designed safety equipment. We represent workers, contractors, and businesses injured by equipment failures, chemical exposure, or malfunctioning industrial products. Joe and Erik personally investigate each case to uncover design flaws or corporate negligence that put lives at risk.
Consumer Product Liability
Everyday products, from household appliances to medical devices, should be safe when used as intended. When a defective product causes injury, we hold manufacturers and distributors accountable. Whether it’s a faulty airbag, an unsafe children’s toy, or a contaminated supplement, we approach each case strategically to ensure you receive fair compensation.
What Types of Compensation Are
Available in Product Liability Cases?
When a dangerous product causes harm, we begin by carefully investigating every link in the chain, from the design and testing to labeling and distribution. Attorneys Joe and Erik personally review technical records, corporate documents, and expert analyses to identify who is responsible and why. We don’t stop at surface-level answers: we dig deep to uncover the truth and pursue justice for you.
Depending on your losses, available compensation may include:
- Medical expenses for treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress caused by the injury
- Property damage resulting from product failure
- Long-term disability and loss of quality of life
- Punitive damages to penalize reckless or intentional corporate conduct
Product Liability FAQs
Do I Need to Keep the Defective Product?
Yes. Keeping the product is essential to your case. It serves as critical evidence for testing, inspection, and expert evaluation. If possible, preserve the item exactly as it was when the incident occurred: don’t repair, discard, or alter it.
What Kinds of Products Are Commonly Involved in Liability Cases?
We handle cases involving both industrial and consumer goods, from defective tools, heavy equipment, and chemical products to faulty electronics, children’s toys, or medical devices. We always build strong cases against major corporations that put profits over safety.
How Long Do I Have to File a Product Liability Claim in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for most product liability claims is generally two years from the date of injury. However, deadlines can vary depending on the specifics of your case. The sooner you contact us, the better we can protect your right to recovery.
What if the Product Was Recalled After My Injury?
A recall can strengthen your case, but it isn’t necessary to prove liability. Even if a product hasn’t been recalled, you may still recover damages. Joe and Erik will investigate company records, prior complaints, and government filings to determine whether the manufacturer knew or should have known about the danger.
