Defective and Dangerous Products

Corpus Christi Defective & Dangerous Product Attorneys

Have You Been Injured by a Defective or Dangerous Product?

As U.S. consumers, we trust that the food, medications, medical devices, toys, tools, vehicles, and other products we purchase are safe to use. Product manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers have a legal duty to produce, market, and distribute products that are safe for consumers. 

Yet, many companies continue to take shortcuts on safety to boost profits, causing thousands of serious, often life-threatening injuries every year.

Victims injured by product defects may struggle to pay medical expenses amidst missed work and pain and suffering. 

If you have been injured by a defective product or item that had insufficient warnings of user risks, our lawyers will work hard to help you collect maximum financial compensation and hold the wrongdoer accountable for their actions.

These cases are not easy. Product designers, manufacturers, and retailers have deep pockets and can afford the best legal defense teams in the nation. To succeed in a product liability claim, injured parties need an experienced, dedicated legal team with the investigative resources needed to uncover the company’s wrongdoing.

Williams Attorneys fights for consumers who have been injured by unsafe products.

What Is Considered a Defective or Dangerous Product?

At Williams Attorneys, our lawyers represent clients with product liability claims for all types of items, including:

  • Cancer-causing products (Roundup weed killer, talc baby powder)
  • Dangerous household appliances (gas fireplaces, ovens, stoves, microwaves, refrigerators, furnaces, water heaters)
  • Dangerous prescription drugs
  • Dangerous sports equipment (helmets, guards)
  • Dangerous toys (sharp objects, choking hazards, weight bearing toys)
  • Defective auto parts (brakes, electronic sensors, air bags, seat belts)
  • Defective guardrails, park structures, boating docks
  • Defective medical devices (pacemakers, stents, implants, surgical mesh, prosthetics)

  • Unsafe over-the-counter medications (pain relievers, vitamins, supplements)
  • Unsafe recreational equipment (bicycles, scooters, skateboards, hoverboards)

Each of these products may have caused injury due to one or more defect types, including:

  • Design defects: The product’s design makes it unsafe for anyone to use.
  • Manufacturing defects: The product’s design is safe, but certain mistakes were made during manufacture of one or more batches of the product that make it unsafe.
  • Marketing defects: The seller makes false claims about the product’s safety or how the product should be used.
  • Failure to warn: Warning labels and instructions are not visible or do not include all potential, foreseeable risks the consumer should be aware of and how to avoid those risks.
  • Repair defects: The product comes back from repair or recall unrepaired or with additional dangerous flaws.

If you have been injured by a defective product, life can quickly become overwhelming. Filing a product liability lawsuit may be the least of your concerns. At Williams Attorneys, you can trust our lawyers to handle all aspects of your claim, minimizing as many legal stressors as possible while maximizing your chances for success.

What Types of Product Liability Claims Are Available?

Not every product-related injury qualifies for a product liability claim. A successful product liability lawsuit must show that a company’s actions or inaction caused your injury. 

There are four general ways that a company may be at fault for your injuries:

Negligence

If a product designer, manufacturer, or retailer foresees a potential risk of consumer injury, then does not take careful action to alleviate that risk, the company may be found liable for your injuries.

Misrepresentation

If a company uses false advertising or makes false claims about the product and its uses, causing you to be unaware of potential dangers or use the product improperly, the company may be found liable for your injuries.

Strict Liability

Under the Consumer Protection Act, a company may be held liable for injury or wrongful death caused by a proven product defect, regardless of any care taken to minimize the risk.

Breach of Warranty

When a warranty lists a product’s safe age range, expiration date, or durability level, and the product causes injury within that range, the company may be held liable.

Our lawyers can help you determine whether you have a valid product liability claim. Should you choose to proceed with a claim, our team of investigators will help gather all necessary evidence required to collect the maximum possible financial compensation.
