Defective Products & Product Liability Cases in Texas

Every day, consumers trust that the products they use — from vehicles and medical devices to prescription drugs and household goods — are safe. Unfortunately, that trust is sometimes misplaced. When manufacturers rush products to market, cut corners in design or production, or fail to warn consumers of known dangers, the results can be devastating.

Product liability law exists to protect consumers and hold manufacturers, distributors, and sellers accountable when unsafe or defective products cause injury or death. If you or a loved one has been harmed by a dangerous product, you may have the right to pursue compensation under Texas law.

With more than 100 years of combined personal injury experience, the attorneys at Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C. are dedicated to helping injured consumers seek justice and financial recovery after preventable product-related injuries.

What Is a Product Liability Case?

A product liability case arises when a product causes injury because it is unreasonably dangerous when used as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way. Companies involved in the design, manufacturing, distribution, or sale of a product can all be held legally responsible if their actions — or failures — contributed to the harm.

Product liability cases often involve large corporations, complex engineering issues, and aggressive defense teams. These cases require experienced attorneys who understand both Texas product liability law and the investigative process needed to prove fault.

Common Types of Defective Products

Herrman & Herrman handles a wide range of product liability cases, including but not limited to:

Dangerous & Defective Drugs

Pharmaceutical companies have a legal obligation to ensure medications are safe and to warn doctors and patients of known risks. Unfortunately, some drugs are aggressively marketed before long-term side effects are fully understood. Others remain on the market even after manufacturers become aware of serious dangers.

Our firm investigates claims involving:

Defective Medical Devices

Patients trust that medical devices implanted in their bodies have been properly tested and approved. When these devices fail, the consequences can be severe and life-altering.

We represent clients harmed by defective:

Many defective medical device cases require revision surgeries, prolonged medical treatment, and long-term pain management.

Motor Vehicle & Auto Defects

Vehicles are made up of thousands of components, any of which can fail if defectively designed or manufactured. Automotive defects can lead to catastrophic injuries or fatal crashes, even when a driver is following the rules of the road.

We handle cases involving:

Child Products & Toy Defects

Products designed for children should meet the highest safety standards. Sadly, defective toys, baby products, and child safety equipment are recalled every year after children are injured or killed.

Our attorneys pursue claims involving:

Consumer Products & Household Goods

Everyday items can cause serious harm when they are defectively designed or lack proper warnings. These cases often involve burns, electrical injuries, chemical exposure, or traumatic physical injuries.

Examples include:

Toxic Exposure & Environmental Products

Some product liability cases involve exposure to harmful chemicals linked to cancer, neurological disorders, or long-term illness.

How a Product Can Be Defective

Under Texas law, a product may be considered defective in one of three primary ways:

Design Defects

A design defect exists when a product is inherently dangerous due to the way it was designed — even if it was manufactured correctly. These cases often involve proof that a safer alternative design existed and could have reduced the risk without excessive cost.

Examples include:

  • Vehicles prone to rollovers

  • Airbags that deploy with excessive force

  • Medical devices with flawed structural designs

Manufacturing Defects

Manufacturing defects occur when a product is improperly assembled or made with substandard materials. Even a well-designed product can become dangerous if something goes wrong during production or quality control.

These defects often result in recalls after injuries have already occurred.

Failure to Warn

Manufacturers have a duty to warn consumers about non-obvious risks associated with their products. If a company knew — or should have known — about a danger and failed to provide adequate warnings or instructions, it may be held liable.

Why Product Liability Cases Are Complex

Product liability cases are among the most complex personal injury claims. They often require:

  • Expert testimony from engineers, medical professionals, or toxicologists

  • Analysis of recall data and internal company documents

  • Accident reconstruction and forensic investigations

  • Extensive discovery against large corporations

Insurance companies and manufacturers frequently deny responsibility and attempt to shift blame to consumers. That is why having an experienced product liability law firm is critical.

Compensation Available in Product Liability Claims

Depending on the facts of your case, compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)

  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering

  • Mental anguish and emotional distress

  • Disfigurement or permanent disability

  • Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

Holding manufacturers accountable not only helps victims recover financially — it also helps prevent future injuries by forcing companies to improve product safety.
