Product Liability

When you visit your local retail store to pick up a new toy for your child or a household appliance, the last thing on your mind is, “Will this product be safe for me to use?” As a consumer, you expect all products to be reasonably safe – as you should – but unfortunately, but this is not always the case.

At The Lenahan Law Firm, our Dallas product liability attorneys have worked with many clients who have suffered serious injuries or illnesses, or even lost a loved one, due to defective products. Design and manufacturing companies have a responsibility to take care of their consumers and ensure that they are as safe as reasonably possible. If you have suffered due to a defective product, then you deserve fair and proper compensation. Call our firm at (214) 295-1008 for a compassionate helping hand.

There are many kinds of defective products, each with its own associated risks and dangers. At The Lenahan Law Firm, we have a thorough understanding of the various types of product liability claims that victims may file in countless different scenarios. In our experience, some of the most common defective products include:

Auto defects: There have been countless cases of cars and auto parts being defective and causing massive damages in accidents. The most memorable may be the series of recalls issued by Toyota in 2009-2011. The defective cars resulted in countless suits being brought against the company, as many people had suffered serious injuries and property damage. Cars should always be properly tested before being released in order to catch any potential defects within the design and manufacturing.

Children’s toys and other items: It goes without saying that products meant for infants, toddlers, and children should always be made with the utmost care. Children are among the most at-risk groups when it comes to recovering from injuries and illness. Unfortunately, toys and other items meant for children are one of the more common products to become defective, as they can be made cheaply and quickly. This can include food, clothing, and toys, each of which can cause serious illnesses or injuries to children. If your child has been hurt by a defective product, you should seek the help of a skilled attorney as soon as possible.
