"Deaths, injuries and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $700 billion annually.” United States’ Consumer Products Safety Commission. As of May 2006, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has ordered recalls or recall alerts for almost 4,000 products. Still, the CPSC’s legal authority does not reach some of the most dangerous and hazardous products encountered by unknowing workers in construction and industrial jobs.
One of the most fundamental principles of law for over 500 years has been to hold those who cause harm responsible financially for the injuries and damages they cause. Few companies are ethical enough to voluntarily accept responsibility for the injuries and damages they cause, which is why you need a strong and dedicated attorney who is committed to your cause when a defective product causes you or your family a significant injury. Mundy & Singley provides Houston, Austin, and all Texas with outstanding product liability representation. Our attorney will fight to achieve the compensation you deserve when you or a family member becomes the victim of a company's negligence.
As a very general explanation, Texas law imposes responsibility on companies who sell defective products. A product may be defective because it was defectively manufactured. As an example, a bolt made out of steel which was not as strong as the specifications is defective when it breaks under a load which it was supposed to support. When the bolt breaks, the manufacture is and should be held accountable. A product may be defective in the way it is designed. As an example, if a car weighs 3,000 pounds, but is equipped with brakes designed only to stop a 2,000 pound car, the manufacturer has used a defective design. Last, but perhaps most importantly, a product may be defective because of a failure to provide adequate and timely warnings about the hazards of the products and how to use it safely. As an example, a manufacturer may sell a chainsaw, which is an extremely dangerous piece of equipment, but the manufacturer must provides adequate instructions regarding how to handle the chainsaw and what protective safety equipment should be worn while using it.
Product liability cases have been tied to innumerable products, including motor vehicles, home-repair products and equipment, farm equipment, and toxic chemicals. Anyone who has suffered damages or injuries because a manufacturer did not live up to its responsibilities should realize that retaining a Mundy & Singley Austin-based product liability attorney can lead to greater safety for all consumers. Product liability suits motivate manufacturers to improve product safety and have even led to changes in state and federal laws. Our clients in Houston and all of Texas can be assured that our product liability attorney will act with the highest ethical standards to pursue compensation and justice for your injuries caused by defective products and put manufacturers on notice that product safety for people must come first.
If you have sustained damages to property or a significant personal injury to yourself or family members because a manufacturer failed in its responsibility, you may be entitled to compensation. Residents of Houston, Austin, and all of Texas can be assured that a Mundy & Singley product liability attorney will pursue the companies responsible for your injury and hold them accountable for their wrongful conduct.
