I Was Injured by a Defective Product—What Are My Options?

---

Key Takeaway:

If you were harmed by a defective product in Texas, you have the right to file a product liability claim and seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.

As consumers, we expect that the products we buy—whether it’s a kitchen appliance, car part, toy, or medication—have been tested and deemed safe. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Some products make it to market with dangerous defects, and when they do, they can cause serious, sometimes life-changing injuries.

If a defective product has injured you or a loved one, you may be entitled to compensation under Texas product liability law.

Your Rights Under Texas Product Liability Law

In Texas, manufacturers, distributors, and sellers are legally responsible for making sure the products they sell are reasonably safe. If they fail in this duty and someone is injured as a result, they can be held liable.

As an injured consumer, you have the right to:

• File a product liability claim

• Seek compensation for damages, including:

  • Medical Expenses

  • Lost Wages

  • Pain and Suffering

  • Emotional Distress

  • Property Damage (if applicable)

Importantly, you don’t have to be the original purchaser of the product to qualify. If you used the product as intended and were injured, you have the same legal rights as the buyer.

Common Types of Product Defects

Your case may fall under one of these three product liability categories:

1. Design Defect – The product is inherently dangerous due to a flawed design.

2. Manufacturing Defect – The product design is safe, but a mistake during production makes it unsafe.

3. Failure to Warn – The product lacks proper instructions or warnings about known risks.

Proving liability requires investigation and evidence—which is why it’s so important to work with an attorney experienced in product injury cases.
