Product Liability Accidents in West Texas

Product Liability accidents in West Texas frequently occur along major corridors including I-20, I-10, US-385, SH-191 (between Midland and Odessa). West Texas encompasses a vast region including Midland, Odessa, El Paso, and surrounding communities, with a combined population of over 1.5 million residents

High-risk accident areas in West Texas include I-20 between Midland and Odessa (one of the most dangerous stretches of highway in Texas due to oil field truck traffic), SH-191 between Midland and Odessa, US-285 in the Permian Basin (known as the "Death Highway" for its high fatality rate), I-10 through far West Texas (long distances, high speeds, limited emergency services), SH-302 near Kermit and Wink (heavy oil field traffic). If you have been injured in a product liability accident near any of these locations, our attorneys can help.

• The Permian Basin is the most productive oil-producing region in the United States, and oil field truck traffic has made West Texas highways among the most dangerous in the country
• US-285 in the Permian Basin saw such a dramatic increase in fatalities that it earned the nickname "Death Highway," prompting state and federal safety interventions

Understanding Product Liability Cases

Common Causes

• Design defects making products unreasonably dangerous for their intended use
• Manufacturing defects from errors in the production process
• Failure to warn consumers of known risks and proper usage
• Defective automotive components including tires, airbags, and seatbelts
• Dangerous pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices
• Defective consumer electronics that overheat or catch fire

Typical Injuries

• Burns from products that overheat, explode, or ignite
• Traumatic injuries from defective automotive safety equipment
• Adverse drug reactions and side effects from dangerous medications
• Choking and suffocation from defective children products
• Lacerations and amputations from defective tools and appliances
• Illness and organ damage from contaminated food or pharmaceutical products

Establishing Liability

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.
