Award-Winning AttorneysBurleson Personal Injury Lawyer for Product Liability Claims
Consumer Protection in Johnson County & Greater Fort Worth
Not all personal injuries are caused by the direct negligence of another individual. Instead, they can occur in a roundabout way through poorly made or manufactured products. If you were injured because a product malfunctioned or was poorly designed, a Burleson product liability lawyer at Coontz Cochran can help you sue for compensation.
Understanding Product Liability Claims
Product liability claims may be possible for those who have suffered serious injury due to the malfunction of a product that should have worked without a problem. This could be due to a defect in design or manufacturing, as well as a lack of warnings for known hazards.
Categories of Product Liability
- Design Defects – This means the design of a product is dangerous or poses a risk, even when used as recommended. In order for a defect in design claim to be proven it must be evident that the manufacturer had the opportunity to utilize a safer design for the product. This does not apply to products that are known to carry a risk, such as power tools.
- Manufacturer Defects – This means that a product was not manufactured according to the intended design or an error occurred during production. This can occur if federal safety standards were in place but not met by the manufacturer.
- Failure to Warn – This means that the manufacturer failed to include a warning label or instructions of usage for products that may carry a risk. These warnings are typically associated with prescriptions and medication.
How to File a Product Liability Claim in Texas
The insurance carriers for these companies have virtually endless resources to fight your claim and point the blame back at you. Texas' comparative negligence laws mean that any fault they can attribute to you will directly affect the amount you receive in compensation.
With the skilled representation of a product liability attorney in Burleson, you could file a successful claim and fight the insurance companies for the payment you deserve.
Potential Compensation You May Receive:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability
- Punitive damages
- Property damages
Compensation could be obtained from the manufacturer, the vendor, or both. With the right planning and preparation, our Burleson firm can take a look at the details of your injury to establish negligence made by the responsible party.
