In Texas, you generally only have two years from the date of the accident/injury to file your claim. If you fail to bring a lawsuit within the two-year statute of limitations, you will not be able to seek financial compensation for your damages.

What Is the Difference Between a Dangerous Product & a Defective Product?

Just because a product is dangerous does not necessarily mean it is defective. For example, a chainsaw presents an inherent danger to the user, but that does not mean it is defective. Someone who is injured by a chainsaw does not necessarily have a claim against the manufacturer unless he or she can prove that the chainsaw contained some defect that made it inherently and/or unreasonably unsafe for normal use.

There are three main types of product defects:

• Design Defects: A design defect refers to a flaw in the actual design of a product that renders it inherently unsafe for typical use. For example, a sport utility vehicle (SUV) that is designed in such a way that it is very top-heavy, causing it to roll over very easily, has a design defect.
• Manufacturing Defects: A manufacturing defect occurs when a product is properly designed but a flaw is introduced when the product is actually created. Examples include medications that become contaminated or vehicles that are manufactured with missing engine parts.
• Labeling/Marketing Defects: A labeling or marketing defect refers to a product that is missing important safety warnings, instructions, side effects, or other labels, rendering the product unsafe for typical use. Products that are marketed for non-approved uses also have this type of defect.

To successfully bring a product liability case against a manufacturer, distributor, or another liable party, you will need to prove that you were using the product as intended and without modifications. Our attorneys can help you put together evidence in support of your claim, as well as to demonstrate that the liable entity is responsible for your damages under general negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty laws.

What Damages Can Be Recovered in Product Liability Cases?

Defective products—from automobile tires to electronics to power tools—can cause a wide range of serious or even fatal injuries.
