What Makes Defective Product Cases So Complex?
Product liability claims are rarely simple. Manufacturers, designers, and distributors each bring in their own legal teams and defenses. These cases often require technical investigations, outside experts, and deep knowledge of industry standards. Our firm can investigate how the defect occurred and who may be responsible under product liability law.
Cases Involving Manufacturing Defects
Some products are dangerous not because of how they were designed, but because something went wrong during the manufacturing process. A missing screw, a contaminated batch, or an electrical short can change everything about how a product works.Even one mistake on the assembly line can cause serious harm, especially when the item is used exactly as intended. These cases focus on what happened between the blueprint and the shelf.
Design Errors and Safety Hazards
Other products are dangerous by design. From children’s toys with choking hazards to electronics that catch fire, some items are simply unsafe from the start. These claims often involve products that were rushed to market or sold despite known risks. A careful review of the testing process and internal documentation can reveal what went wrong and when it could have been prevented.

How Liability Works When Multiple Companies Handled the Same Product
Many products pass through several hands before they ever reach a shelf. A single defect might begin at the factory, get overlooked by a distributor, or go unaddressed by a retailer. We look at the full chain of custody to understand where things went wrong and who had the chance to stop it. Liability may shift depending on:
- A manufacturer cutting corners to reduce costs
- A designer ignoring known safety risks
- A distributor mishandling the product or packaging
- A retailer stocking recalled or expired goods
- An online seller bypassing inspection requirements
- A contractor installing the item without proper safety checks
- A brand relabeling another company’s product as its own
- An international supplier avoiding U.S. compliance rules
Each party may try to shift the blame to someone else, leaving you stuck between them. Our team reviews each stage of the product’s journey to determine who had control and when. Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 82.001, manufacturers and sellers can both be held liable depending on how and when harm occurred.

What Kinds of Products Commonly Lead to Injury Lawsuits?
Many everyday products can cause serious harm when they are not made or marketed with care. From household goods to vehicle components, you rely on these items to work safely. Our firm looks closely at whether a defect or a failure played a part in what happened to you.
