Dallas Product Liability Lawyer

If you were hurt by a product you trusted was safe, you may now be dealing with medical bills and time away from work. You are not alone, and Texas law gives you a path to hold the right companies responsible. At Galvan Law Group, we stand up for people across Dallas who were injured by defective products, large or small. Sabrina Galvan uses her background in insurance defense and years representing injury victims to build cases with the other side’s tactics in mind.

Product Liability in Texas

Product liability law holds manufacturers, distributors, and sellers responsible when a defective product causes an injury. A claim can be based on a manufacturing defect, a dangerous design, or a failure to warn about known hazards. To recover, you must show that the product was defective, that the defect caused your injury, and that you suffered damages.

These cases often involve detailed proof, from the item itself to testing reports and medical records. We help pull those threads together and explain your story clearly and practically.

How Galvan Law Group Supports Your Product Liability Claim

We know how fast evidence can disappear after a product hurts someone. Our team acts quickly, works efficiently, and keeps you updated at each step.

Comprehensive Case Investigation

We dig into the facts to confirm whether a defect caused the injury. This includes securing the product, gathering photos, tracking down recalls, and reviewing instructions and warnings.

When helpful, we consult with engineers, medical professionals, or human factors professionals to connect the defect to your injuries. The goal is a clear, well-supported record that shows what went wrong and why it matters.

Determined Legal Representation

Companies and insurers often push back hard. We push right back, using focused discovery and targeted negotiations to move your case forward.

Sabrina’s time working within insurance defense firms gives our clients an advantage, as she understands defense playbooks and common arguments. We plan every step with an eye on protecting your rights and your recovery.

Assistance with Various Types of Defective Product Cases

Defective products come in many forms. We handle cases involving the following categories and more:

• Pharmaceuticals and medical devices
• Consumer electronics and household products
• Automobiles and auto parts
• Industrial products and machinery

If a product failed in a way that caused you harm, we would like to review it and discuss your options.

Pursuing Compensation for Your Injuries

We work to recover money for both immediate and future needs. That includes medical care, lost income, and the human impact of pain and life changes.

Depending on the facts, recoverable damages can include:

• Medical bills, hospital stays, therapy, and medication
• Lost wages and reduced earning ability
• Pain, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment
• Home or vehicle modifications and future care costs

We negotiate firmly and are ready for trial if that is what it takes to get a fair result.

Types of Product Liability Claims

Product cases often fall into three categories. Each category focuses on where the problem started and how it reached the consumer.

Manufacturing Defects

Manufacturing defects occur when a product is built incorrectly, even if the design itself is safe. Think of a batch error, a missing part, or a contamination during assembly.

We look for proof that the unit that harmed you was different from what the design intended, and then we work on connecting that defect to your injury.

Design Defects

Design defects occur when the blueprint is unsafe even when followed as designed. The critical question is whether a safer design was feasible at the time and would have prevented the harm.

We review design choices, testing, and available alternatives at the time the product was sold.

Failure to Warn

Failure to warn claims involve missing or unclear instructions or warnings. If a risk is known and cannot be mitigated through design, the company must clearly alert users.

We examine labels, manuals, packaging, and marketing materials to determine whether hazards are explained clearly and placed where users can see them.

Claim Categories and Common Proof

Texas Product Liability Claims: What You Need to Show
Claim Type	What It Means	Common Proof	Examples
Manufacturing Defect	The item was built incorrectly compared to the intended design	Batch records, quality control reports, product testing, and photos	Tire tread separation from a bad batch, contaminated medicine
Design Defect	Blueprint creates an unreasonable risk even when followed as designed	Design files, safer alternatives, industry standards, expert review	Unstable furniture, an airbag that deploys too aggressively
Failure to Warn	Missing or unclear warnings about known hazards	Labels, manuals, marketing materials, recall notices	Cleaner without burn warnings, device lacking safe-use steps

No matter the category, our focus is on building a clear chain of evidence from defect to injury that is supported by evidence, records, and reliable witnesses.

What To Do If You’ve Been Injured

Taking a few steps early on can make a big difference in your case. Try to keep things as they were at the time of the incident and gather records quickly.

1. Preserve the Product: Store the item in its current state, including packaging and receipts.
2. Gather Medical Records: Save diagnostic reports, bills, and doctor notes.
3. Document Financial Losses: Track missed work, travel costs, and out-of-pocket expenses.
4. Photograph Everything: Injuries, the product, the scene, and any warning labels.
5. Seek Legal Guidance: Contact Galvan Law Group to review your rights and next steps.

If you are not sure what items to keep, call us, and we will walk you through it. Small details often carry real weight.

Statute of Limitations

Texas law sets a deadline to file a product liability lawsuit. In most cases, you have two years from the injury date, or from when the injury was discovered, to file a lawsuit.

There can be other timing rules in select cases, including an outside limit tied to how long a product has been on the market. To protect your claim, contact Galvan Law Group as soon as possible so we can confirm your filing window and take prompt action.
