Liability for Injuries Caused by Defective Products
When a person is injured by a product, they may be able to take legal action against the product's manufacturer or other parties based on:
- Design defects - A product may be designed in a way that made it unsafe to use, even if the product was manufactured correctly and it was used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Texas law allows victims to pursue compensation for injuries caused by design defects if an alternate design was available that would have reduced the risk of injury, as long as the safer design was economically and technologically feasible at the time the product was manufactured. Examples of these types of defects include auto parts that have design flaws, such as airbags that deploy at incorrect times and cause injuries to drivers and passengers.
- Manufacturing defects - Errors may occur during the process of manufacturing a product, causing it to break down or malfunction when it is being used. These errors may involve the use of incorrect or substandard materials, or improper quality control practices may result in damaged or unsafe products being made available to consumers. Examples of manufacturing defects include tires that are made with low-quality materials, resulting in tread separation or blowouts.
- Failure to warn - Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers must ensure that consumers are provided with the proper instructions on how to use a product safely, including warnings about the risks of using a product and the potential injuries that may occur if the product is used incorrectly. Examples of injuries that may be caused by a manufacturer's failure to warn include situations where patients suffer harm because the manufacturers of drugs or pharmaceutical products did not provide information about the potential side effects a person may experience.
