What Is Product Liability?
Product liability laws protect consumers who get hurt when unreasonably dangerous or defective products are used as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way.
Since there’s no way to ensure that companies don’t just put harmful products on the market, Texas provides consumers with the right to sue manufacturers and retailers for personal injury or wrongful death.
Companies can be strictly liable for harm caused by defective products. Strict liability means that the company is legally responsible for damages even if they were careful when designing, building, creating, or selling a product. Negligence isn’t at issue. Instead, whether or not a product was defective and caused harm is central to these personal injury cases.
How Much Is My Product Liability Case Worth?
It depends. Consider how you’d answer these questions when determining how much money you might recover through a product liability claim:
- What types of physical injuries have you suffered?
- Are those injuries permanent?
- Have you suffered any disfigurement or bodily scarring?
- Were you hospitalized?
- How long will you need medical treatment and rehabilitation to make a full recovery?
- Have you been able to work?
- Has your earning capacity changed at all?
- How old are you?
- What’s your life expectancy?
- How has the experience changed your overall quality of life?
- Do you share any responsibility for the injuries you’ve suffered?
Your injuries – both the type and the severity – will impact all of these answers. So, the more severe the injury you’ve sustained, the more money you can likely receive when your product liability claim is settled or resolved at trial.
What Damages Can Be Awarded in a Product Liability Case?
In Texas, injured consumers have the right to demand compensatory damages from a product manufacturer or retailer.
Compensatory damages can include economic and non-economic awards for:
- Current medical bills
- Future medical expenses
- Rehabilitation
- Nursing assistance
- Temporary and/or permanent disability
- Diminished earning capacity
- Out-of-pocket expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Emotional distress
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Embarrassment
- Chronic physical pain
Punitive damages can be appropriate in product liability litigation when there’s clear evidence that a company knowingly put or kept a dangerous product on the market or concealed known risks from consumers.
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Product Liability Attorney in Dallas?
Our law firm provides no-fee-until-we-win representation. Also known as contingency fee representation, it means our attorney fees are directly related to the case results we achieve.
We only get paid if we obtain a favorable settlement or win a verdict for you at trial. If we win, our fees are subtracted from the product liability award we’ve won on your behalf. However, if we lose your case, you won’t owe us anything.
How Do I Win a Product Liability Lawsuit?
If you file a product liability lawsuit in Dallas, you have to prove that a product made or sold by a company was defective and caused you harm while you were using it in a reasonably foreseeable manner.
While there are many grounds for a product liability claim, most are based on one (or more) of three primary claims: defective design, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn.
Design Defect
A design defect renders a product intrinsically unsafe due to a flaw in its original concept. Often, it’s due to one dangerous ingredient or component – such as glyphosate in Roundup’s weedkiller. Other times, a product becomes dangerous because potential hazards aren’t considered or calculated – like a vehicle being too top-heavy or prone to rolling over because of its design.
Typically, when you file a claim based on defective design, you need to be able to show that there’s a reasonably safer alternative design that the company could have adopted without being too cost-prohibitive.
Manufacturing Defect
A manufacturing defect means that the product’s underlying design might be safe, but that the product is dangerous because of a problem that occurred when it was assembled, built, or manufactured. Defects of this nature can affect an entire line of products or a single product.
You have to be able to show how the end result product differs from its safe design, and how that product was dangerous and harmful because of the change.
Marketing Defect/Failure to Warn
Companies have a duty to provide appropriate warnings about risks associated with the use of a product. If a company fails to warn about a known risk or a risk that it should know about through reasonable safety testing or complaints, it can be liable when a consumer gets hurt.
No two cases are exactly alike, so the specific strategy we employ will depend on the unique circumstances of your injury and the product involved. Our team is dedicated to meticulously investigating every detail to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.

How Long Do I Have to File a Product Liability Lawsuit in Texas?
Most product liability lawsuits filed in the state of Texas are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. The two-year window starts on the last known date the product caused harm.
The statute of limitations can be tolled if there’s a reasonable delay in discovering an injury or its relation to the product. However, claims are generally barred 15 years after a product was first sold.
You must file your product liability lawsuit before the deadline passes, or you will lose the ability to sue the product’s manufacturer for your injuries.
