2 . Product Liability Overview

Product liability, a division of personal injury law usually, but not always addresses claims of injury to a consumer alleged to have been caused by a defective or dangerous product. Manufacturers in Texas are often held financially responsible when their products are either defective, don't perform as the manufacturer promises or fail to carry warning labels or proper instructions for use.

Consumers have some responsibility also. In almost all cases, consumers must use the product for the purpose for which it was intended. For example, a consumer can't ingest a known toxic chemical and then sue the manufacturer for a dangerous or defective product.

Manufacturers have been held liable in the past for misrepresenting products by claiming through advertising or sales promotions that the product or products would perform in a specific way yet failed to do so and was not truly intended to do so. Manufacturers and others along the product chain can also be held liable for negligence, whether that negligence stems from the product design or a flaw in the manufacturing process.

There are many federal agencies in the United States that regulate different types of consumer goods. These agencies publish recall lists on their websites and set the standards for and investigate claims of defective products. Some of these agencies levee huge fines against companies who don't comply with the standards they have set forth as the mission of the agencies is to protect the public.

Consumers who wish to pursue product liability lawsuits should consult with experienced product liability Texas attorneys.

3 . Product Liability Lawsuits in Texas

Product liability lawsuits can be complex and require product liability lawyers to sift through the complexities. Manufacturers as well as distributors and everyone along the product chain from manufacture to consumer can be held liable for damages. Product liability lawyers in Texas must prove that injury or property damage occurred and was caused by the product in question. The injury may stem from negligence on the part of the manufacturer or person who designed the product. Injuries can also result when the manufacturer fails to warn the consumer about potential dangers associated with the use of the product.

In many cases, consumers can procure product liability attorneys who accept cases on a contingency basis. This simply means the consumer won't have to pay the attorney any money up front. In fact, paying the attorney at all is contingent upon the awarding of damages. Generally, the attorney will take a predetermined percentage of the damages awarded by the judge or jury.

Often, product liability lawsuits are settled out of court before a trial even begins. Other times, litigation can take years to complete. The best course of action is to choose experienced product liability lawyers in Texas who can best advise you on how to proceed.

4 . Lather, Rinse, Repeat

Consumers are sometimes amazed at the warning labels on certain products and while manufacturers sometimes go overboard on these warnings, they are required to post warnings which advise consumers regarding dangers of which the ordinary consumer might not be aware.

In order to avoid product liability lawsuits, some manufacturers add cautionary notices to their warning labels advising against actions that would seem almost impossible for the consumer to perform in the first place such as "Never use curling iron while sleeping" or "Do not immerse in water." which is part of the warning label for numerous electrical appliances.

Some labels for appliances that heat up caution consumers that hot surfaces can cause burns while a label for a stroller warns parents to remove their child before folding stroller. While much fun has been made of some of the more outrageous warning labels, serious injury has occurred in countless cases in Texas where the consumer received no such warning.

Just as an ordinary consumer is going to realize that hot coffee is hot, he or she probably wouldn't expect to have to undergo skin grafts if the coffee was spilled on them. Thus, while we laugh, scrupulous manufacturers have to imagine every possible scenario that could harm consumers and post warnings in the interest of consumer safety.
