Product Liability in Texas: FAQ
What are common signs that a product may be defective?
If you notice unusual behavior or malfunctions while using a product, such as overheating, unexpected shutdowns, or unusual noises, it could indicate a defect. Additionally, if a product doesn't perform as expected or described in its documentation, it might be defective.
How long do I have to file a product liability claim in Texas?
In Texas, the statute of limitations for filing a products liability claim generally varies depending on the type of claim and circumstances involved. It's crucial to consult with a products liability lawyer promptly to ensure you meet any deadlines for filing your claim.
What if I was injured by a product but didn't keep the receipt or packaging?
While having the product and related documentation can strengthen your case, it's still possible to pursue a products liability claim without them. Our lawyers at Almaraz Law Firm can help gather other evidence and build a strong case on your behalf.
Can I sue for product liability if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Yes, Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still seek compensation as long as you were not primarily responsible for the incident. Your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault determined by the court.
