What Our Clients Say

"When looking for an attorney, I couldn't find anything negative about the Rasansky Law Firm. When I called other law firms, I had a hard time getting through to anyone. The accident was horrifying. I lost my job after the accident. It was great someone was able to meet with me at my home. Troy eased my mind. I later met with Ryan, and he answered all my questions about my case. Ryan did a great job getting the best settlement for me."

Is it Defective?

A defective product is one that is more dangerous than is reasonable when it’s used as directed. A defective products attorney deals with cases where someone was injured through no fault of their own and without any expectation that the product they were using posed the particular danger that injured them. This sometimes means that a product was not designed correctly. It can also involve instances where a product is well-designed, but where it was manufactured incorrectly. Even the way that the product was marketed can expose the company that manufactured it to lawsuits under product liability law. dallas product liability attorney

There are some products that are deadly when used as intended. Guns, for example, are a product that everyone knows can cause fatal injuries. These are not the types of incidents covered under product liability law. If someone bought a gun lock, however, that caused their gun to be damaged and to fail when it was being shot, then product liability would certainly be at issue. A product liability lawsuit would likely follow in short order, and for good reason.

Automobiles are an area where numerous product liability claims are filed. These usually involve safety deficiencies in the vehicles. For example, both the case of the Toyota accelerators that were apparently failing to slow down and the tire problems that caused numerous SUV rollovers in the 1990s are the types of incidents that are often named in product liability claims. The claims are filed when someone is injured, in most cases, but they are also filed in some cases where a product didn’t perform as advertised. The point about advertising is important. If a company has a dangerous product, they’re required to warn you about it.

If you take the firearm in the above example and replace it with a pellet gun, you’d see that the gun carries a warning. It will warn that the airgun is capable of causing injury and death and that eye protection needs to be warned when using the gun. This is an example of a manufacture taking their responsibility seriously. If the consumer injures themselves, they were warned. If that same airgun, however, was advertised as an appropriate toy for young children and as completely safe, then there would be grounds to pursue a product liability lawsuit. A great deal of these cases have to do with companies being dishonest or incomplete with their product information.
