Product Liability Attorneys

in Houston, Texas

Houston product liability attorneys Galvin B. Kennedy and David W. Hodges are both Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. The area of personal injury law that focuses on defective products is referred to as products liability.

Product liability is the body of law that provides for compensation for physical injuries and property damage resulting from defective and unreasonably dangerous products and from the failure of a manufacturer or seller to warn the consumer of product dangers.

A products liability claim includes all claims or actions brought for personal injury, death or property damage caused by the manufacture, construction, design, formula, preparation, assembly, installation, testing, warnings, instructions, marketing, packaging or labeling of any product.

Tort liability protects a consumer's interest in freedom from injury regardless of the existence of an agreement between the parties. Tort law imposes responsibility on manufacturers of defective products because they are best able to encourage safer manufacture and design.

Many product liability cases involve automobiles that are dangerous because of a design that caused the vehicle to rollover during an evasive maneuver, or a defective seatbelt that failed to restrain the occupants.

However, product liability claims have been made on numerous types of products including toys, power tools, lamps, fire protection equipment, drugs, lighters, aircrafts, jet skies, boats, and any other product that is unreasonably dangerous due to its design, manufacture or insufficient warning.
