Overview of Product Liability Law in Texas

Most personal injury claims are based on the legal theory of negligence, but product liability is a little different. Texas follows a strict liability rule when it comes to defective products. Instead of proving negligence, an injured victim only needs to prove that the product was defective and they suffered some harm because of it.

Under Texas law, a product may generally be considered defective in one of three ways:

Design defect: A problem with the underlying design of the product makes it inherently unsafe to use.
Manufacturing defect: Issues during the manufacturing process cause the product to be unsafe. For example, subpar materials being used during manufacturing could make the product structure weak and unsafe.
Marketing defect: A lack of warnings or improper instructions about how to use the product makes it unsafe for consumers.

Texas law places most liability for defective product claims on the product manufacturer, although distributors and retailers can be held liable in some situations. Determining exactly who may be responsible for your injuries in these cases can be complex. We can help you identify all potential defendants and pursue a full financial recovery.

Common Types of Product Defects in Houston

Far more injuries are caused by defective consumer products each year than most people realize. In fact, 15.1 million people received emergency treatment in 2024 for injuries caused by consumer products.

This means that more than 40,000 injuries happen every day because of products such as:

Consumer electronics
Household cleaners
Food products
Prescription and over-the-counter medications
Furniture
Gym equipment
Playground equipment
Vehicle parts or accessories
Kitchen appliances
Toys

While many of these items are found in homes, defective vehicles and industrial equipment often cause the most catastrophic injuries.

Vehicle Safety Defects

Cars, trucks, and motorcycles are made up of thousands of parts—and just one faulty component can cause a catastrophic crash. Motor vehicle defects may include issues such as defective airbags, faulty brakes, tire blowouts, steering system failures, or malfunctioning seat belts.

When a design or manufacturing defect makes a vehicle unsafe, victims may have a claim against the automaker, parts manufacturer, or dealership. We can investigate whether a mechanical or design flaw contributed to your accident and pursue compensation from every responsible party.

Electrical Equipment Defects

Electrical equipment is used daily in homes, workplaces, and industrial settings. Unfortunately, defective wiring, poor insulation, or inadequate safety testing can make these products extremely dangerous. Defective electrical tools, appliances, and power systems can lead to severe burns, electric shocks, and even fatal electrocutions.

If you were hurt by a malfunctioning electrical product, we can work with technical experts to determine whether a design or manufacturing defect was to blame.

Construction Equipment Defects

Construction workers rely on heavy machinery and tools to perform dangerous jobs safely. When this equipment fails because of a defect—such as a faulty hydraulic system, defective safety guard, or malfunctioning lift mechanism—the consequences can be devastating.

Manufacturers and distributors must ensure cranes, forklifts, power tools, and other equipment meet strict safety standards. If a defective piece of equipment caused your injury, our team can help you hold those responsible accountable.

What Types of Damages Are Available to Victims of Defective Products in Houston, TX?

Victims who are injured by a defective product may suffer many types of losses. Not only might you have extensive medical bills, but the pain and suffering associated with your injuries may be devastating. Thankfully, victims can recover both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

Economic damages compensate victims for their financial losses, such as:

Medical bills
Lost wages and benefits
Reduced earning capacity
Physical therapy
Rehabilitation
Out-of-pocket expenses

By carefully documenting these expenses, you can show the full financial toll of your injury and pursue the compensation needed to move forward.

Non-Economic Damages

On the other hand, non-economic damages compensate victims for their intangible losses. Putting a value on these damages is much more difficult because they are so subjective.

Some common examples include:

Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Mental anguish
PTSD
Depression
Loss of consortium
Diminished quality of life

In some cases, you might even be entitled to recover punitive damages. These damages are designed to punish the product manufacturer for its conduct. We can help you determine all the damages to which you are entitled and put a proper value on your claim.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my wife and my first time navigating a legal situation like this, and I can confidently say that one of the most challenging aspects was selecting an attorney. Initially, numerous attorneys came up when I began my search, which was overwhelming. However, to be honest, that was probably the most difficult part of the entire process.

When I called for the first time, it was late in the evening, and I was pleasantly surprised to get an answer, let alone an actual person on the line. That call definitely helped put me at ease. The gentleman I spoke to was incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive. He listened carefully to my questions without any pressure and provided me with accurate information and set realistic expectations, which was truly beneficial.

Once I was assigned a case manager, Jennifer came into the picture. She reached out to introduce herself and continued to set clear expectations. She explained how she would be assisting us moving forward and assured us that she would be our direct point of contact until the claim was closed, which was true throughout the entire process.

Communication with Jennifer was excellent. She maintained an open line of communication with both my wife and me. We were able to communicate via text, which was particularly helpful when I was at work and couldn’t take a call. Jennifer was always responsive, and I typically received a response from her the same day, if not the following day.

Throughout this almost 11-month process, Jennifer and her team led us with kindness and professionalism. We simply followed their guidance and support. I highly recommend Brian White’s team of attorneys. They have earned my trust and will be recommending them to family and friends if they ever need legal assistance.
