What Is Product Liability?

Product liability refers to the legal responsibility of manufacturers and others along the chain of manufacture for any product they make, market, distribute, and sell that causes harm. Product liability is based on claims that a product caused injuries or death because of such things as:

Defective design
Manufacturing defects
Failure to warn or defective marketing

A single product liability claim can include more than one of these defects, and you can bring the claim against manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and even retailers associated with the harmful product.

Defective Design

Manufacturing Defects

Failure to Warn

Defective Design

A product may have inherent flaws in its design that make it harmful even before it’s manufactured. Such flaws or defects can prevent products from functioning safely as advertised, causing injuries even when the product is used according to the product manual. Some examples of design flaws include:

Vehicles designed to have a heavy top, making them topple over easily, especially at sharp turns
Appliances with unsafe wiring or parts that melt easily and spark electrical fires
Product containers of harmful substances that lack proper safety measures
Toys that are unduly hazardous, such as toys that have tiny parts that choke children when they swallow them

Manufacturing Defects

A manufacturing defect is any error in the manufacturing process that results in the product being harmful to the end-users. The manufacturing error results in a product that is different from the one intended. Examples of manufacturing defects include:

Using substandard or wrong materials in producing items
Manufacturing drugs or food products with toxic substances
Failing to assemble or install parts correctly

Failure to Warn

This is also called defective marketing. In this type of product liability, products that are otherwise safe become harmful because they don’t provide adequate safety warnings or clear guidelines on proper use. Either failure keeps the consumer uninformed about the risks associated with a specific product. Providing proper warnings and instructions for products may include:

Adding images that show how to use or how not to use the product
Using words like caution, danger, or warning to get consumers’ attention
Providing instructions on how to minimize risks associated with product use or avoid danger when using it

Who Can You Sue if You’ve Been Hurt by a Defective Product?

If a defective product injured you in Tyler, Texas, you may sue anybody whose negligence contributed to placing the defective product in your hands. Depending on the nature of the defect and the incident that hurt you, you may sue any of the following parties:

Product designers
Manufacturers

Suppliers
Distributors and/or retailers

It can be confusing to figure out who to sue after you’re injured by a defective product. You can gain clarity by talking to a Tyler product liability lawyer at Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers. We can review your case, explain your legal options, and identify every party who is liable.

When Should You Talk to a Product Liability Lawyer?

You should talk to a product liability lawyer as soon as possible after your injuries. Act promptly because:

1

You only have two years to file a product liability case in Texas
2

It’s harder to locate and collect evidence as time passes
3

The parties responsible may be anticipating a product liability claim and are already getting ready for defense

What Happens After You File a Product Liability Claim?

The nature of your case, how you discovered the injuries, and the negligent parties you’re up against can affect the direction of your product liability case. However, you can expect it to take any of the following shapes:

A complex claim that requires deep investigation and expert witnesses to prove negligence and address the technical issues involved
A highly contentious case where the companies are fighting hard to evade liability
A settlement offer, like the majority of product liability claims

When you contact a Tyler product liability attorney at Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers, you will get a thorough explanation of how your case could go. We offer a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll help you understand the possible turns your case can take after you file a claim, and we’ll help you make an informed decision at every point.

Compensation You Can Recover from Product Liability Cases

How much compensation you can get from a product liability case depends on many factors, such as the nature of the negligence and the extent of your injuries. Insurance companies are always looking for ways to pay as little compensation as possible. So, the settlement offers you’ll get will not likely be fair. However, having a product liability lawyer on your side increases your chances of getting adequate compensation for your injuries.

Victims of defective products can recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, such as:

Medical bills, including future medical bills
Property damage
Lost earning capacity
Lost wages

Pain and suffering
Loss of consortium
Burial and funeral costs if the injury led to death

Elizabeth Hancock and her paralegal Shelby Richards are the nicest people you could possibly work with. I’m young so I don’t understand anything in “legal” terms. They helped guide me and always explained everything in great detail. Without their help I couldn’t have possibly gotten the settlement I did. Amazing work!

Melinda O.

My husband and I were very pleased with the professionalism at Morris and Dewett. They keep you up-to-date on your case. The Doctors they recommended for me were incredible! Morgan is so great to work with. Always polite and cheerful.

Brenda Ane M.

I honestly never thought I would need an injury lawyer but when that 18 Wheeler t-boned me, I needed someone to fight for me. Morris & Dewett was my number one go to. Ms. Morgan Berryhill has been phenomenal at keeping me informed of the entire process and proceedings. Mr. Josh Powell is truly the best. He always had me as a priority. Josh made the time to meet with me, keep me informed, and always had my best interest in mind. Josh ensured I had the medical attention I required.Absolutely the best service and personal attention I could have asked for.Would recommend to everyone!
