Product manufacturers and other negligent companies fight product liability claims aggressively. They understand how damaging a defective product case can be for their reputation and their bottom line.
At Crosley Law, we aren’t afraid of these companies or their tactics.

We thrive with complex cases, and we have the experience and tenacity necessary to get great results for our clients.
When a company designs, manufactures, distributes, or sells a product, it has a duty to make sure that product is safe for consumer use. When the company violates this obligation, you can demand compensation for any injuries that result. Lawyers refer to these claims as product liability cases.
In Texas, there are four broad categories of product liability claims:
Depending on your circumstances, several of these legal theories may apply to your defective product case. To learn more, contact Crosley Law and schedule a free consultation.
Not necessarily. In Texas, a product liability lawsuit can be subject to a legal doctrine known as strict liability. Under strict product liability laws, you do not need to prove that the product manufacturer acted carelessly or negligently. You only need to prove that:
While almost any product can have a defect, certain products are particularly dangerous:
Unsafe products injure millions of Americans each year. In the news, we see recalls of household goods, vehicle parts, over-the-counter or prescription drugs, and more. The makers of these products are responsible for ensuring that their goods are safe for consumer use. This responsibility includes following proper design and manufacturing guidelines as well as accurately labeling products to warn consumers of possible dangers.
If you suspect that you or a loved one suffered injuries due to a defective or dangerous product, you deserve answers. However, product liability claims require expertise, and it’s best to consult a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
Even though strict liability doctrine is in theory meant to simplify the legal process in product liability lawsuits, these cases are still incredibly complex for many reasons.
First, most defective product claims involve many different parties; the manufacturer, part suppliers, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers. You and your legal team will need to identify everyone who played a role in your injury.
Second, these cases can also involve extremely technical or scientific issues. Without a careful analysis of the evidence and Texas law, you may make costly mistakes that lower the value of your claims. As a plaintiff, you must prove that:
In the case of a defective device, proving these elements may require detailed knowledge of materials, manufacturing, and engineering. For defective drugs or medical devices, advanced medical, biological, and chemical knowledge may be needed. To build a strong and thorough claim, you need the help of a qualified attorney who has a network of experts.
If a defective or dangerous product injured you or a loved one, you should:
Be sure to give all your doctors an accurate description of how the injury occurred. Medical records are vital to your injury claim because they can link your condition to the defective product, document your treatment plan, and help outline your injury-related limitations.
It’s also critically important to preserve the defective or dangerous product. You should never throw away a defective product; technical experts will need to examine it as part of your claim. If someone else owns the product, the attorneys at Crosley Law can quickly send out a preservation letter demanding that they keep the product. We can also help you file product liability claims against the at-fault parties and their insurance companies.
If you and your family are struggling after a defective product changed your life, you may have legal options. Our personal injury attorneys can help you understand your rights, suggest some next steps, and evaluate the strength of your case.
