Product Liability Austin

We’ve all seen high profile product liability stories in the news, but did you know that everyday products regularly cause harm to consumers? While stories about Toyota’s gas pedal problems continue to make news, other products are injuring and killing consumers.

One common misconception surrounding product liability involves a product’s role in the accident. When an accident has a known cause, it’s easy to leave it at that. For example, if a driver ran through a red light and caused an accident or a power surge caused a house fire, it’s easy to accept these events as the cause of the loss. But what if that car accident was made worse because the car’s airbags malfunctioned and failed to deploy? What if the house’s occupants died because the smoke detectors malfunctioned and failed to alert the residents? While the cause of the loss may not be disputed, the severity of the damage could have been made worse because of defective products.

Our Austin attorney is skilled at examining all aspects of an accident scene. He actively considers the possibility that a defective product could be to blame or partially to blame. When a defective product is involved, our attorney springs into action.

No matter how your accident was caused, even if you think you are fully to blame, contact us. Your case could have more involved to it than meets the eye and we know what to look for.

Pursuing product liability claims is one of the more rewarding areas of our practice. We’re not speaking in financial terms but rather in terms of satisfaction. We believe that manufacturers have a responsibility to produce safe products. If their products injure or kill consumers, then those products need to be taken off the market until they are no longer defective. In addition, an aggressive legal backlash against defective products shows manufacturers that they’re not going to get away with cutting corners or ignoring potential hazards.
