Product Liability Lawyers in Houston

While some states start the clock for the statute of limitations in product liability cases the date the injury occurred, other states start the countdown from the date the plaintiff had a reasonable opportunity to discover the defect. From that point, a plaintiff usually has two years to file.

If you were injured by a defective product, you should contact us immediately to learn about the statute of limitations in your case and to make sure you can still take action before the statute of limitations expires. Once the time period for bringing a claim passes, it’s very likely your claim can never be recovered upon.

Types of Product Liability

There are generally three types of defects that can lead to product liability claims: design defects, manufacturing defects, and marketing defects.

• Design Defects: Inherent flaws in a product's design that make it dangerous or ineffective. Examples include seat belts that don't keep passengers safe or unstable ladders.

• Manufacturing Defects: Flaws that occur during production, such as using defective materials or inadequate quality control measures. Manufacturers can be held liable for injuries caused by such defects.

• Marketing Defects: Issues with how a product is marketed, such as inadequate warnings or instructions. Failure to warn about risks or provide sufficient instructions on safe use can result in harm to users.
