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

Whether from a car accident or a defective blender, no matter how an accident occurs, injuries will cause pain — physically and financially. Severe injuries can put you out of work, causing you further financial headaches as medical bills continue to pile up. Thomas J. Henry can assist with alleviating your financial woes and help you get back on your feet while we pursue your product liability claim.

Your Questions Answered

We have straight answers to difficult questions
to help you make critical decisions, navigate
legal process and help you get justice.

Following an accident, there are always more questions
than answers. At Thomas J. Henry, we’re here to answer
any questions you have about your injury case.

A tort is a civil wrongful act committed by a person or company that results in harm to another person. A mass tort is when multiple victims are injured by the same single tort.
A court will consider if a mass tort lawsuit is permissible by determining:
  • whether a large number of plaintiffs are involved
  • whether the plaintiffs are located near or far from each other;
  • whether the injuries sustained are similar among the plaintiffs;
  • whether the claims arose from the same cause (defective toy, car part, oil spill, etc.)
  • Defective products, such as car parts, toys, or other consumer goods.
  • Pharmaceutical drugs, such as those that are later linked to severe or fatal health consequences
  • Environmental hazards, such as polluted water sources contaminated by nearby industrial sites or an oil leak.
Thousands of lawsuits across the country may be filed with a mass tort. These lawsuits are filed in numerous federal district courts. In a mass tort, federal judges will consolidate the thousands of lawsuits into a single proceeding. One judge in a single federal district court will oversee litigation, allowing for consistent rulings and a more expeditious process for the plaintiffs.
In a mass tort, each plaintiff (injured person) has an individual claim resulting from their unique damages. In a class action, many plaintiffs are considered collectively. Similarly, in a mass tort, each individual's claim "value" is unique to the severity of their injuries. In a class action, plaintiffs generally suffer injuries of similar severity, resulting in the same amount of compensation value.
If you have been injured or suffered illness due to a recalled drug, having an expert witnesses can be essential to proving your claim. Thomas J. Henry has spent decades building professional relationships with leading experts including:
  • Pharmacologists
  • Toxicologists
  • Regulatory Compliance Consultants
  • Forensic toxicologists
  • Drug Injury Causation Experts
  • Biomechanics
