Proving Defective Product Liability

What is Product Liability? Product liability is the fault that a manufacturer or company incurs when they produce faulty or dangerous products.

When it comes to holding a manufacturer responsible, you will be contending with a large insurance carrier. This means you will not only need to demonstrate the extent of your injuries and the role of the product in them, but you will also have to prove you used the product in a reasonable way.

Your case will need to prove that:

• The design of the product is inherently dangerous
• Your use of the product was not in an unreasonable or careless manner
• A different, economically feasible design would have been safer

The chances are high that the insurance carrier will accuse you of misusing the product, and Texas’ contributory negligence laws mean your settlement could be negatively affected if you are found to be at fault in any way.

In building your case, it is important that you:

• Go to a doctor you trust who can document the extent of your injuries
• Take photographic evidence where possible
• Gather witness statements if they exist
