Houston Product Liability Lawyer

Defective Product Lawsuit Examples

Because any product can be defective, any product can cause harm. Consequences of defective products can range from economic loss to physical endangerment, injury, or even death. Our Houston attorneys have represented thousands of defective product victims over the years and recovered millions on their behalf.

Vehicle manufacturers

At Mostyn Law, we have represented clients against vehicle manufacturers for defective vehicle features that caused harm. For example, our attorneys recovered a substantial settlement for a client who is a paraplegic and suffered third-degree burns due to a defective seat heater.

Wheelchairs

In a survey, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics notes that about ten percent of the American population has a mobility-related disability, and that “over half (57.8 percent) of all respondents with disabilities use one or more medical devices,” including wheelchairs. Americans with disabilities should be able to rely on their wheelchairs to not only keep them mobile but also to keep them safe. Mostyn Law recovered a confidential settlement for a child who suffered pain and suffering and mental anguish due to a defective wheelchair.

Mesh products

Throughout the country, Mostyn Law has represented more than 20,000 individuals across the country for defective transvaginal mesh and hernia mesh resulting in more than half a billion dollars in settlements for those victims.  More than 100,000 lawsuits were filed with victims claiming that transvaginal mesh products lead to “pain, bleeding, infection, organ perforation, and autoimmune problems,” according to Drug Watch. In this litigation, our attorneys went toe to toe with some of the largest medical device manufacturers in the world and prevailed on behalf of our clients.

Defective appliances, devices, and other products

Whether it’s a general household appliance, electronic, vehicle, or another device—negligence in the manufacturing process can cause serious injuries to consumers. We are here to help.

A refrigerator with an inherently unstable design that topples over easily can cause serious injury—especially to small children. Defective appliances can cause various injuries including burns, cuts, fractures, sprains, internal damage to vital organs, and even death.  If you’ve been a victim of a defective appliance contact us today.

Defective electronics can be just as dangerous. Malfunctioning electrical devices may cause fatal electrocution or non-fatal electric shock, burns from overheating, explosions from gas build-up, poisoning from emissions like carbon monoxide, and fatalities for everyday consumers. Known culprits include devices with exposed or faulty wiring, lawn care tools like lawn mowers, outdoor equipment like electric or gas-powered grills, lighting equipment like lamps, large household appliances like boilers, and small household appliances like toasters.

According to the NSC, consumer product injuries increased by 6.8% in 2021 after decreasing by 18% in 2020. Lemon Laws vary by jurisdiction, but in general, they grant protection to buyers from purchasing faulty vehicles and also potentially apply to other consumer goods, including consumer appliances.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a defective appliance, device, vehicle, or product of any kind, contact Mostyn Law. Our Houston product liability attorneys will fight aggressively to get you the justice you deserve.
