Accidents in Texas involving the use of a product which results in injury or death are included in an area of law called "products liability." Texans are hurt every day at home, outside the home, and at work while using everything from common household items to highly complicated industrial machinery and chemicals. When making a claim alleging a product defect in Texas, it is necessary to prove the product was defective by proving that it was unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.
In general, there are three types of defects which could render a product unreasonably dangerous in Texas:
 |
Manufacturing Defect: |
an error in product manufacture or assembly |
|
Design Defect: |
faulty product design |
|
Failure to Warn: |
manufacturer or seller’s failure to warn of danger associated with use of the product |

Moreover, the Humphreys & Peterson Law Firm represents seriously injured consumers who have become gravely ill from certain types of products, such as medical drugs, that may be considered unavoidably unsafe. There are many drugs used in the treatment of serious or fatal diseases which themselves may cause serious injury and even death.
