A Dallas product liability lawyer investigates how a defective product — from consumer goods to prescription drugs or medical devices — caused your injury, identifies which manufacturer, distributor, or retailer is responsible, and pursues compensation for your medical costs and losses. Jim Ross Law Group builds your case and handles negotiations with manufacturers and their insurers on your behalf.
Here at the Jim Ross Law Group, our Dallas defective product lawyers are ready to work with anyone who has been injured by the faulty design or manufacturing of a product.
All parties involved with designing and manufacturing a product have a responsibility to make sure that product is completely safe and effective. When they cut corners in their manufacturing processes — oftentimes to save money — it can create flaws in their product, which are capable of causing injury.
Jim Ross Law Group has a team of defective product lawyers in Dallas TX that will work alongside you in the event you were injured by a faulty product. They will go to work documenting the flaws in the product — anything from a consumer product to prescription drugs or medical equipment — and noting who was negligent in bringing that product to market.
Our Dallas defective product lawyers also focus on the nature of your injuries and the economic challenges that can potentially result. You should never be left to face potential financial hardship because of someone else’s negligence. We’ll assign a fair value on your case and aggressively work to recover that compensation from the negligent parties and their insurance providers.
Types of product defects that can lead to a claim
Most defective product cases fall into one of three general categories: a design defect, where the product itself is inherently unsafe even when manufactured correctly; a manufacturing defect, where an error during production makes an otherwise safe design dangerous; and a marketing or “failure to warn” defect, where a product lacks adequate instructions or warnings about a known risk. Identifying which type of defect applies to your case is one of the first steps our Dallas defective product lawyers take.
What to do after you’re injured by a defective product
- Seek medical attention right away and keep records of your treatment
- Preserve the product, its packaging, and any instructions exactly as they were at the time of the injury — do not attempt to repair or alter it
- Photograph the product and your injuries before anything changes
- Avoid discarding receipts, boxes, or manuals that could help establish where and when the product was purchased
- Speak with a defective product lawyer before providing a statement to the manufacturer or its insurer
These cases can involve manufacturers, distributors, and retailers located outside of Texas, which adds another layer of complexity. Our Dallas defective product lawyers work to determine every party in the supply chain who may share responsibility for your injury.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a “defective product” in a Dallas product liability case?
A product is generally considered defective if it has an unsafe design, a manufacturing error that made an otherwise safe design dangerous, or inadequate instructions or warnings about a known risk. Identifying which type of defect applies is one of the first steps in building your case.
What should I do with the product that injured me?
Preserve the product, its packaging, and any instructions exactly as they were at the time of the injury, and avoid attempting to repair or alter it. This evidence can be critical to proving how the defect caused your injury.
Can I file a claim if the product was recalled after my injury?
A recall can support a defective product claim by helping establish that the product had a known problem, but a recall alone doesn’t guarantee compensation. An attorney still needs to show how the specific defect caused your injury.
Who can be held responsible for a defective product injury in Dallas?
Depending on the circumstances, responsibility can fall on the manufacturer, a component parts maker, a distributor, or the retailer that sold the product. Product liability cases often involve more than one company in the supply chain.
How long do I have to file a product liability claim in Texas?
Texas law imposes filing deadlines on product liability claims, so it’s important to speak with an attorney promptly after your injury to protect your rights and preserve evidence before it’s lost or discarded.
