Defective Products

Contact a Houston products liability attorney at Matthews & Associates if you need advice and representation about recovering personal injury damages caused by a dangerous or defective household product, medical device, or industrial machine. With the help of technical experts, design engineers, and other forensic professionals, we know how to prepare and present the evidence that establishes both the defendant's liability and the extent of your damages.

We handle products liability claims under legal theories of negligence, breach of warranty, and strict liability, depending on the nature of the product and the law that applies to your specific case. Our AV-rated* personal injury attorneys have the experience necessary for analyzing and evaluating your case in situations concerning such products as the following:

• Products for infants and small children, such as car seats, swings, strollers, or restraints.
• Sporting goods from helmets to archery equipment.
• Industrial equipment such as forklifts, bucket trucks, cranes, safety shields, power saws, and drill presses.
• Agricultural vehicles and equipment.
• Dangerous, defective, or poorly maintained rides at amusement parks.
• Recreational devices such as trampolines or playground equipment.
• Household heaters, generators, or other products that present fire hazards.
• Medical devices such as stents, surgical screws and pins, or prostheses.
• Pharmaceutical products, including over-the-counter medications.

Whether the defect that caused your injury reflected an error in the manufacturing process, failure of materials, or poor design, our lawyers can help you recover the damages you need to support an extended period of physical rehabilitation or a permanent disability.

Our past success in complex personal injury litigation gives us the ability to advance the expenses necessary to develop and present your products liability claim at our own risk.
