Dallas Product Liability Lawyers

Defective and dangerous products can cause devastating harm. When a product fails, explodes, malfunctions, or is sold without adequate warnings, the consequences are often severe and permanent. Sometimes, these injuries are not accidents—they are the result of corporate decisions that prioritize profit over safety.

At Crain Brogdon, LLP, we represent individuals and families harmed by defective products in Dallas and across Texas. Our Dallas product liability attorneys focus on serious, high-impact product liability cases involving catastrophic injuries, long-term medical needs, and life-altering consequences. When powerful manufacturers and insurers attempt to avoid responsibility, we are prepared to fight to hold them accountable.

Product Liability Cases Can Involve Serious, Life-Changing Injuries

Product liability claims frequently arise from defects that place consumers at risk during everyday use. Unlike minor incidents, these cases often involve catastrophic injuries that alter a person’s health, livelihood, and future.

Examples of injuries we handle in product liability cases include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
• Severe burns or electrical injuries
• Organ damage or internal injuries
• Amputations or permanent disability

Many injured individuals require ongoing treatment, multiple surgeries, or lifelong care. When the harm is this severe, pursuing accountability from negligent companies is about more than compensation… it is also about protecting others from suffering the same fate.

Understanding Texas Product Liability Law

In the state of Texas, there is a strict product liability law, known as the Texas Product Liability Act, which allows an entity to be held strictly liable for the harm caused by a defective or harmful product.

Basically, manufacturers are responsible for the products they create. Because of this, if a manufacturer creates a product that causes harm, regardless of how the harm occurs, the manufacturer can be found liable.

If you have been injured by a product and believe it had a design, warning, or manufacturing defect, it’s best to contact our legal team immediately. We can help you file a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer, the seller, or another responsible party.

While manufacturers can be held strictly liable in Texas, it is also possible to file product liability claims based on other legal grounds. For example, you may have evidence that another party was negligent and that their negligence resulted in the dangerous and defective product that resulted in your injuries.

In other situations, you can claim that a different party breached a warranty regarding a product or that they committed fraud in some way. If you plan to file an alleged fraud or breach of warranty action, you must show how the defective product caused or is related to your current injuries.

What Makes a Product Legally Defective?

Manufacturers, distributors, and sellers have a legal obligation to ensure that their products are reasonably safe when used as intended. A product may be considered defective when it fails to meet this standard.

Product liability claims generally fall into three categories:

Design Defects

A design defect exists when a product is inherently dangerous due to its design, even when it is manufactured correctly and used as intended. These defects affect entire product lines and can expose large numbers of consumers to harm.

Manufacturing Defects

Manufacturing defects occur when a product deviates from its intended design due to errors in production, materials, or assembly. Even a single small defect can cause catastrophic injury.

Failure to Warn

Some products carry unavoidable risks. When manufacturers fail to provide adequate warnings or instructions about those risks, consumers may unknowingly place themselves in danger.

The Dallas product liability lawyers at Crain Brogdon carefully evaluate how and why a product failed to determine which parties may be legally responsible, helping to recover the maximum amount of compensation possible from those at fault.

Types of Product Liability Cases We Handle

Crain Brogdon, LLP has extensive experience handling a wide range of product liability claims involving dangerous and defective products. When a product causes serious injury, identifying who is responsible often requires a detailed investigation into how the product was designed, manufactured, tested, marketed, and sold.

Our legal team is equipped to investigate complex product liability cases, preserve critical evidence, and determine which manufacturers, distributors, or sellers may be held accountable. While we are prepared to handle any defective product claim involving catastrophic injuries, some of the most common cases we see include:

Dangerous Drugs and Medications

Prescription and over-the-counter medications can cause serious harm when they are defectively designed, improperly manufactured, or sold without adequate warnings. Even drugs that have been cleared for sale may later be linked to severe or life-threatening side effects.

In some cases, the risks associated with a medication are not discovered until years after it reaches the market. In others, manufacturers may fail to adequately warn patients and healthcare providers about known dangers. 

When a medication causes serious injury, and the risks were not properly disclosed, injured patients may have grounds for a product liability claim.

Defective Medical Devices

Medical devices are intended to improve health and quality of life, but when they malfunction or are defectively designed, the consequences can be devastating. Some devices are later found to cause serious complications after widespread use, resulting in long-term injury or the need for corrective surgeries.

Product liability claims involving medical devices often require extensive investigation and expert analysis. Crain Brogdon has experience handling complex cases involving medical products that cause catastrophic injuries.

Auto Defects and Vehicle Components

Defective vehicles and auto parts place drivers, passengers, and others on the road at risk. Even a single faulty component can lead to serious crashes and life-altering injuries.

Common auto defect claims involve critical safety systems or mechanical components that fail when they are needed most. When a defect contributes to a serious accident, manufacturers and sellers may be held responsible for the resulting harm.

Dangerous Children’s Products and Toys

Children’s products are expected to meet strict safety standards, yet defective design, poor manufacturing, or inadequate warnings can expose children to serious risks. Some products may pose choking, suffocation, strangulation, burn, or poisoning hazards, while others may be made with unsafe materials or unstable designs.

When a child is seriously injured by a defective or unsafe product, families deserve answers and accountability. Crain Brogdon represents families in product liability cases involving injuries caused by dangerous children’s items and toys.

Who Can Be Held Responsible in a Product Liability Case?

Product liability cases often involve multiple defendants. Liability may extend beyond the manufacturer to include:

• Product designers
• Component part manufacturers
• Distributors and wholesalers
• Retailers who sold the product

Identifying every responsible party is critical in catastrophic injury cases, where damages may be substantial and long-term. Our attorneys conduct thorough investigations to uncover all sources of liability and insurance coverage.

The Challenges of High-Stakes Product Liability Litigation

Product liability cases are among the most complex personal injury claims. Large corporations aggressively defend these cases, often with teams of lawyers, engineers, and expert witnesses.

Common challenges inherent in these cases include:

• Extensive technical and scientific evidence
• Corporate resistance to disclosure of internal documents
• Attempts to blame user error instead of product failure
• High financial exposure for defendants

At Crain Brogdon, our legal team has the experience and resources necessary to confront these challenges head-on. We collaborate with engineers, safety experts, medical professionals, and economists to develop compelling legal cases that withstand intense scrutiny.

What Compensation is Available in Serious Product Liability Claims?

When a defective product causes catastrophic harm, compensation must reflect the full scope of the loss. A successful product liability claim may seek damages for:

• Emergency medical treatment and hospitalization
• Ongoing medical care and rehabilitation
• Future medical needs and assistive services
• Lost income and diminished earning capacity
• Pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life

In cases involving fatal injuries, families may pursue wrongful death claims for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship.

At Crain Brogdon, our experienced product liability attorneys approach these cases with a long-term mindset. Our goal is to do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to secure the outcomes that protect our clients’ long-term stability and future needs.

We Create a Trial-Ready Strategy Built for Complex Cases

Insurance companies and corporate defendants closely evaluate the law firm on the other side of every case. Firms known for settling quickly are treated differently from firms that always prepare their cases to go to trial.

The legal team at Crain Brogdon is recognized for its extensive litigation experience and willingness to take on challenging cases in court. Every product liability case is developed with the potential for trial, even if a resolution may occur through negotiation.

This approach sends a clear message to defense teams and insurance adjusters: our clients are prepared to pursue accountability to the fullest extent of the law, and we are prepared to fight every step of the way.

Why Experience Matters in Product Liability Cases

Product liability law involves unique legal standards, evidentiary rules, and procedural challenges. These cases demand careful planning and a deep understanding of how defective products cause harm.

Our attorneys have experience handling complex, high-value claims where the outcome has lasting consequences. We understand how to present technical evidence clearly and persuasively, whether in negotiations or before a jury.

When injuries are catastrophic, experience is not optional—it is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions About Texas Product Liability Claims

How long do I have to file a product liability lawsuit in Texas?

Most product liability claims in Texas must be filed within two years of the date of injury. Some cases involve exceptions or shorter deadlines, so it’s crucial to seek legal consultation as soon as possible to avoid missing any important deadlines.

Do I have to prove the manufacturer was negligent?

Not always. Many product liability claims are based on strict liability, meaning you may not need to prove the maker was negligent, only that the product was defective and caused your injury.

What if I misused the product?

Manufacturers often argue that the consumer misused the defective product to avoid responsibility. Whether misuse affects a claim depends on specific facts about how the product was used and whether adequate warnings were provided.

Can I still file a claim if the product was recalled?

Yes. A recall does not eliminate your right to pursue compensation for injuries already sustained. In some cases, recalls strengthen claims by acknowledging that safety issues existed and may have harmed other consumers as well.

Will my case go to trial?

Most product liability cases are settled out of court, but others may require a trial. The team at Crain Brogdon prepares every case for a full trial to ensure clients are positioned for the strongest possible outcome, whether during settlement negotiations or in front of a jury.
