Product Liability Lawyer in Fort Worth
Learn how to collect compensation for a defective product
When we purchase consumer products of any type, we rightfully expect them to be safe. The last thing on our minds is having a defective product fail to work properly and cause injuries to ourselves or loved ones. Tragically, this happens every year in Fort Worth, Dallas, and all across Texas. Due to poor workmanship, lack of research or toxic materials, defective products might cause serious harm. They sometimes are rushed to store shelves or showrooms with improper labels before the true safety of a product is known. If you or a loved one was hurt by a defective product or a defective design, you shouldn't have to suffer in silence. You have legal rights. Contact Fort Worth defective product attorney Coby L. Wooten immediately. You may have grounds to file a product liability lawsuit if a product harmed you due to the negligence of the manufacturer or designer of the product. Personal injury accidents involving defective products are a serious matter. A list of potentially unsafe products is extensive and distressing. They can include:
- A new toy could present a choking hazard
- Your new car could have faulty brakes, a bad airbag or other defective car parts
- A patient might become ill due to dangerous drugs
- Cancer linked to Zantac use, one of the reasons why most people file a Zantac lawsuit
- A faulty child booster seat may have caused your child's wrongful death in a car accident
Types of product liability claims
Typically, product liability claims fall into three categories. In manufacturing defect cases, a product is designed well but constructed in a way that makes it unsafe. Design defect cases indicate that the design of the product itself is unsafe. In cases involving insufficient instructions or warnings, a product contains no manufacturing or design flaws, but warnings and instructions on its proper use are lacking.
Health problems associated with another dangerous consumer product, asbestos, have been well-documented. Products where asbestos is usually found include:
- Electrical wiring
- Car and truck brake assemblies
- Furnaces and boilers
- Insulated wiring, pipes, and gaskets
- Wall and ceiling tiles
