Injured by a Faulty Product? Steps to Take After an Accident in Dallas

Every day, Texans use thousands of products — from cars and tools to household appliances and medical devices — trusting they are safe and reliable. But when a product is defective or dangerous, that trust can lead to devastating injuries.

If you’ve been injured by a faulty product in Dallas, knowing what to do next can make the difference between securing justice and being left with unpaid bills and unanswered questions.

At Claim Wars, we help victims of defective products hold manufacturers, retailers, and distributors accountable. Our team ensures that consumers across Texas receive the compensation they deserve and that negligent corporations are held responsible for their actions.

What Qualifies as a “Faulty Product”?

A faulty product is any product that poses an unreasonable risk of harm when used as intended. Texas law recognizes several categories of product defects:

1. Design Defects: The product’s blueprint is inherently unsafe — even when manufactured correctly.
   Example: A car with a roof design that collapses in a minor rollover accident.
2. Manufacturing Defects: Errors during production make a product different from its intended design.
   Example: A batch of tires that fail due to poor materials or quality control.
3. Failure to Warn (Marketing Defects): The manufacturer fails to provide adequate safety warnings or instructions for proper use.
   Example: A cleaning product without a clear label warning of toxic fumes.

If your injury resulted from any of these situations, you may have grounds to file a product liability claim in Texas.

Common Types of Product-Related Injuries

Defective products can cause a wide range of injuries — some minor, others catastrophic. At Claim Wars, we’ve represented clients who have suffered from:

• Severe burns from malfunctioning electronics or appliances.
• Lacerations or amputations caused by unsafe machinery or power tools.
• Head, neck, or spinal injuries from defective vehicle parts.
• Chronic illnesses from exposure to toxic chemicals.
• Internal injuries from faulty medical devices or implants.
• Injuries to children from unsafe toys or furniture.

Whether your case involves a household item or a complex industrial product, the key question is the same: Was the product unreasonably dangerous, and did that danger cause your injury?

Steps to Take Immediately After a Product-Related Accident

If you’ve been injured by a defective product, what you do in the hours and days that follow is critical. Here’s how to protect yourself and strengthen your case:

1. Seek medical attention immediately.
   Your health comes first. Even if your injuries seem minor, medical records will serve as important evidence later.
2. Preserve the product.
   Do not throw away, repair, or alter the defective item. Keep it in a safe place — it will be a key piece of evidence.
3. Document everything.
   Take photos or videos of the product, your injuries, and the scene where the incident occurred. Save receipts, packaging, and instruction manuals.
4. Gather witness information.
   If anyone saw the accident happen, their testimony can support your claim.
5. Avoid speaking with the manufacturer or insurance company.
   They may try to get you to admit fault or settle for less than your claim is worth.
6. Contact a product liability attorney.
   An experienced lawyer can help you preserve evidence, identify responsible parties, and navigate the legal process.

Claim Wars takes these steps on your behalf — so you can focus on recovery while we handle the investigation and negotiation.

Who Can Be Held Responsible?

Product liability cases can involve multiple liable parties, including:

• The manufacturer that designed or produced the product.
• The distributor or wholesaler that transported or stored the product.
• The retailer that sold the product to consumers.

In some cases, multiple companies along the supply chain share responsibility for the same defective product. Our team investigates every link to ensure that all negligent parties are held accountable.

Filing a Product Liability Claim in Dallas

To win a product liability case in Texas, you must prove that:

1. The product was defective.
2. You were using it as intended or in a reasonably foreseeable way.
3. The defect directly caused your injury.

Claim Wars works with engineers, safety experts, and medical professionals to build compelling evidence that meets these legal standards.

Texas law also imposes deadlines for filing product liability claims — generally two years from the date of the injury — so it’s important to act quickly.

Compensation You May Recover

A successful product liability claim can cover both financial and emotional damages, including:

• Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs.
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering.
• Emotional distress.
• Property damage.
• Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence).
