Defense of Product Liability Claims in Texas
Product liability lawsuits arise when a consumer or a group of consumers allege that an industrial or consumer product was designed or manufactured defectively – in such a way as to cause avoidable injury to users. A plaintiff may also claim in a dangerous products lawsuit that a company failed to provide sufficient warnings to users about potential dangers, and that the lack of sufficient warnings led to avoidable injury.
Product liability lawsuits can expose corporate defendants to potential financial losses in the millions of dollars. They are often complex cases to defend – requiring in-depth analysis by engineers or other manufacturing or design experts as well as analysis of injury reports and medical records by medical experts.
