Texas product liability claims can proceed under three theories, design defect, manufacturing defect, and marketing defect (failure to warn). Strict liability applies in many product defect cases, meaning the plaintiff does not need to prove the manufacturer was negligent, only that the product was defective and caused the injury. Expert testimony from engineers, toxicologists, and industry specialists helps establish that the product was unreasonably dangerous and that a safer alternative design existed.
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code Chapter 82 governs product liability actions and establishes a 15 year statute of repose for most products under Section 82.005. Texas follows a risk utility test for design defect claims, requiring the plaintiff to show the product risks outweighed its utility and that a safer alternative design was economically and technologically feasible. Under Section 82.003, a manufacturer rebuttable presumption of no design defect exists when the product complied with applicable government safety standards.

Punitive damages go beyond compensating the victim. They are designed to punish defendants whose conduct was especially reckless or malicious and to deter others from behaving the same way. Texas law allows punitive damages in personal injury cases, but only under specific circumstances and with important limitations.
Expert witnesses can be the difference between winning and losing a personal injury case. From accident reconstruction specialists to medical professionals to economists, these experts provide the testimony that translates complex evidence into clear conclusions for the jury.

At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.
In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.
While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.
Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.
Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
