Types Products Defects
Texas law considers a product to be “defective” when some condition renders it unsafe for its excepted or reasonably foreseeable uses. There are three classic types of defects considered by Texas law: design, manufacturing, and warnings defects.

Elements of Proof in Products Liability Lawsuits
Victims injured by a defective product must prove four aspects, or “elements” of their case before they can recover compensation for their injuries. In a nutshell, these are:
- The defendant owed the consumer a duty to design and manufacture a safe product or to warn users of non-obvious dangers;
- The defendant breached the duty above by producing a product that was not designed or manufactured to not be defective or fails to adequately warn of non-obvious dangers;
- The product is so defective that it’s unreasonably dangerous for consumer use;
- As a result of the breach, the consumer or select members of their family suffered physical, emotional, and/or economic injuries;
- The injuries the consumer suffered are severe enough to warrant monetary compensation.

Possible Defendants Who Victims Can Hold Responsible For Their Injuries
Generally, Texas law allows injury victims to pursue compensation for their injuries (often referred to as “damages”) from every party who assisted in bringing a product to market. These defendants often include product designers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers.
Importantly, each of the defendants mentioned above are allowed the opportunity to defend their case and effectively eliminate or reduce their liability for a victim’s injuries. Click on the following link to learn more about the common defenses presented in products liability injury cases.
To combat these defenses, you’ll likely need the assistance of one or more expert witnesses. Simply put, almost every products liability lawsuit is only successful after enlisting the assistance of expert witnesses.
