Texas follows a [strict liability](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/faqs/what-is-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](https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/docs/cp/htm/cp.82.htm), 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.

In fact, [15.1 million people](https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/home-and-community/safety-topics/consumer-product-injuries/) 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](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/houston-tx/product-liability-lawyer/defective-toy-injury/) 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](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/houston-tx/product-liability-lawyer/motor-vehicle-defect-injury/) 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.

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](https://attorneybrianwhite.com/blog/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.
