Fort Worth Product Defect Attorney

Injury Lawyer Michael Grossman Explains the Basics of Product Liability Law in Fort Worth Texas

It is strongly advised not to initiate a complicated product liability case without an experienced Fort Worth product defect attorney on your team. You will most always be going up against a huge manufacturing conglomerate whose first and foremost concern is profitably. These corporations will have a small army of attorneys on their staff who will be directed to us every trick at their disposal to either have your case dismissed or at least paid out at a minimal rate.

Our US laws require that the companies that make products for our use take all necessary steps to ensure that the product is safe for consumer use. This applies to any type of product: fireworks, clothing, baby cribs, automobile tires, or any other product imaginable. If a product is defective or is unsafe and if a consumer is injured then those who have been injured have the legal right to pursue compensation for their injuries.

There are two major types of product liability categories:

• Negligence
• Strict Liability

Negligence Product Liability Claims

• Negligence is the design of the product
• Negligence in the manufacturing of the product

If a product has been designed without proper regard to the safety and possible dangers that may arise through its use then that manufacturer may be held liable for any injuries that occur.

In other cases a product may have been designed properly but the manufacturer may have cut corners in the manufacturing process to save on costs; if that product ends up injuring someone because of the use of inferior materials or building methodologies then the victim may sue the manufacturer for damages.

In addition, manufacturers have the responsibility of warning the public about any possible dangers associated with the use of their product. They may be held liable if they fail to communicate this to the public. One example of this could be if a patient took a new dose of medication and then developed a severe stomach ache. If that were not specifically mentioned on the medications packaging as a possible side effect then the manufacturer could be held as liable for any consequent injuries.

Strict Liability Claims

No negligent action on the part of the manufacturer is required in order to file a strict liability claim. A product may be inherently unsafe even if it the design, the materials used and the manufacturing process have all been top notch. If a product is inherently unsafe and if that product then injures a consumer then the victim may hold the manufacturer liable. An excellent example of this may be found in the game called “Lawn Darts.” In this game, kids were directed to toss sharp, metal-tipped darts into the air and towards each other on the lawn. It does not matter if these darts were designed perfectly, then built with the best materials and in the best manner possible; it is clear that the actual product was exceptionally dangerous in the hands of its intended market.
