How To Tell If You Have A Defective Liability Case
Not every injury involving a product automatically results in a product liability claim. However, if you were injured while using a product as intended—or in a reasonably foreseeable manner—you may have grounds for legal action if the product was unreasonably dangerous. Determining whether you have a valid claim often requires a careful investigation into how the product was designed, manufactured, marketed, and whether adequate warnings were provided.
A product liability case may exist if the product contained a design defect that made it inherently unsafe, a manufacturing defect that occurred during production, or missing or inadequate instructions or safety warnings that failed to alert consumers of known risks. In many cases, the product itself may appear normal, making it important to preserve the item and avoid altering or discarding it after the accident.
You may also have a potential claim if another person's negligence was not the primary cause of your injury and the defective product directly contributed to the accident. Important evidence can include the product itself, photographs of the incident, medical records, purchase receipts, warranty information, witness statements, recall notices, and any documentation showing how the injury occurred.
Because product liability cases often involve manufacturers, distributors, retailers, insurance companies, and technical experts, identifying the true cause of the defect can be complex. At The Law Offices Of Robert S. Gregg, Attorney Robert S. Gregg carefully evaluates the facts of each case, investigates the source of the defect, and determines whether a manufacturer or another party may be legally responsible for your injuries. If a defective product caused you harm in Dallas, Texas, our firm can help you understand your legal options and pursue the compensation you deserve.

Defective Products FAQ
What qualifies as a defective product case?
A defective product case typically falls into one of three categories: design defects (flaws in the product's blueprint making it inherently unsafe), manufacturing defects (errors occurring during production), or marketing defects (inadequate warnings or instructions). To pursue a successful claim, you must demonstrate that the product was defective, the defect caused your injury, and you were using the product as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable manner. Everyday items that commonly lead to defective product claims include vehicles, household appliances, medical devices, children's toys, and pharmaceutical drugs.
Who can be held liable in a defective product case?
Multiple parties in the distribution chain may be held liable for injuries caused by defective products, including manufacturers, designers, component suppliers, distributors, and retailers. In many states, product liability laws operate under "strict liability," meaning you don't necessarily have to prove negligence—only that the product was defective and caused your injury. Even if you weren't the original purchaser of the product, you may still have the right to file a claim if you were injured while using the product in a reasonably foreseeable way.
How long do I have to file a defective product lawsuit in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for defective product claims is generally two years from the date of injury or when you discovered (or should have discovered) the injury. Additionally, Texas has a "statute of repose" that typically bars claims filed more than 15 years after the product was originally sold, regardless of when the injury occurred. Certain exceptions may apply that can extend these time limits, such as cases involving minors or when a manufacturer explicitly guarantees a longer product lifespan.
What types of compensation can I recover in a defective product case?
Compensation in defective product cases typically includes economic damages covering medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage. You may also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases where a manufacturer or seller displayed gross negligence or reckless disregard for consumer safety, punitive damages might be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future.
