Defective Product Liability Attorneys
Serving Clients Nationwide From Our Texas Offices in Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Dallas, and Austin
When a consumer product turns out to be defective or dangerous and causes serious injury or illness, you may have grounds for a product liability claim and should contact a product liability attorney right away. Every year, thousands of defective and unsafe products are removed from the market with a recall.
Unfortunately, many defective products are only found after multiples injuries have been reported.
Filing a Product Liability Claim
In general, there are three different kinds of product liability claims:
- The product was manufactured with a defect
- The product has an inherent (and dangerous) design flaw
- The product has insufficient instructions and warnings regarding proper usage
In each of these categories, it must be proven that the issue with the product caused an accident and the subsequent injury. At Thomas J. Henry, our experienced product liability attorneys can help evaluate your claim (for free) and determine which category your accident and injury fall under. Call us for a free consultation at any time — we are available 24/7, nights and weekends.
Types of Defective Consumer Products
Unsafe and defective products come in many forms. Almost any product can prove to be dangerous if it was manufactured with a defect, designed improperly, or sold to consumers without sufficient usage instructions. Here are a few examples of defective and recalled products:
- Toys
- Cribs
- Strollers
- Bicycles
- Scooters
- Skateboards
- ATVs
- Kitchen appliances
- Handheld electronics
- Clothes
- Infant or baby products
- Furniture
- Dressers
- Ladders
In addition, millions of vehicles are recalled each year in the United States due to manufacturer defects. Dangerous pharmaceutical medications and faulty medical devices also affect thousands of lives each year, causing long-lasting and permanent injury and illness.
Common Product Liability Injuries
Thousands of tragedies occur each year when people use dangerous products. Depending on the specific defect, injuries can vary from minor cuts and lacerations to paralysis, brain injuries, and death. Here are a few examples of injuries commonly associated with defective products:
- Asphyxiation (through choking or strangulation)
- Broken bones and fractures
- Soft tissue injuries
- Cuts and lacerations
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Permanent disfigurement or scarring
- Amputation/loss of limb
- Spinal cord and neck injuries
- Poisoning
- Severe medical conditions

Your questions
answered
We have straight answers to difficult questions to help you make critical decisions, navigate legal process and help you get justice.
How Does the “No Win No Fee” Promise Work?
The Thomas J. Henry “No Win No Fee” promise works as part of a contingency fee agreement. Instead of receiving payments from clients, we recoup fees and expenses from the final settlement or verdict our clients receive.
This allows us to start working on your case as soon as you hire us, ensuring that your case is handled with the urgency it deserves. It also means you can focus on getting better rather than cutting us a check.
The percentage we collect may vary depending on the complexity of your case, but you will be kept informed so you know what we are collecting before your case is closed.
Even better, you owe us nothing if we don’t win your case! Because our fees are collected as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, we do not collect anything unless and until you get your recovery. This means there is no risk to hiring a qualified attorney to handle your case!
Do I Have to Pay to Speak with an Injury Attorney?
Thomas J. Henry Law offers free case reviews so that you can better understand your legal options. This means you pay nothing for your first consultation. Additionally, Thomas J. Henry Law works on a contingency fee basis meaning that if you do choose to hire us, you pay us nothing unless and until we win your case.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney Help Me Settle My Case?
Insurance companies will attempt to pay out as little as possible when resolving an injury claim. When an individual pursues compensation from an insurance company without the aid of an attorney, the insurance company may see the lack of representation as an opportunity to lowball the injured victim as there is no immediate risk of trial or legal recourse.
By hiring a competent attorney who has a reputation for achieving large verdicts in the courtroom, you are sending a message to the insurer. It will provide the insurance company with extra incentive to offer a fair settlement the first time.
If that first offer is not fair, an experienced personal attorney will have the resources and the knowledge to negotiate with the insurance company in pursuit of a better offer.
What is a Contingency Fee?
In a contingency fee arrangement, an attorney agrees to accept a fixed percentage of your recovery as payment. This means that if you win your case, your attorney will collect their fees and expenses from the money awarded to you. However, if you lose your case, your attorney will collect nothing.
Most lawyers prefer not to work on contingency cases for two reasons:
- There is a risk the firm will be paid nothing
- Any payment is delayed until money is collected from the opposing party
Generally, a lawyer who accepts contingency fee cases:
- Regularly represents clients who lack the financial resources to pay hourly attorney’s fees (as is often the case for personal injury victims).
- Is more selective about the cases they accept.
- Is very confident in their ability to win the cases they choose to handle.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?
The cost associated with hiring a personal injury attorney and how payment is collected may vary from firm to firm. At Thomas J. Henry, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we don’t charge our clients a penny unless and until we win their case.
Working on a contingency fee basis allows clients access to resources and legal representation they might otherwise struggle to afford. The more serious a case is, the more money it costs to take to trial. This is because complex litigation tends to take longer to resolve and the entities involved fight harder.
This is especially true if your lawsuit is against a large company, as would be the case in a trucking accident or on-the-job injury. Such companies employ teams of lawyers and have seemingly unlimited financial resources. You need an attorney who has the same. Thomas J. Henry employs a team of more than 100 attorneys and has the money to fight your case out to the end.
Finally, by collecting any fees and expenses after a verdict or settlement is secured, Thomas J. Henry can help ensure his clients are able to focus on healing. “The client’s job is to heal. We will handle the rest,” says Thomas J. Henry.
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
In Texas, a personal injury case is only worth what a jury is willing to award you. This is why you need an attorney who can not only prove the economic damages you have sustained due to your accident, but can also demonstrate the value of non-economic damages you may have sustained, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of consortium.
