How we match your Houston defective product case

When you submit a Houston defective product matter, we route it through a national network of independent partner firms and put it in front of the one that fits best — based on the kind of case it is, what it is likely to involve, where it has to be handled, and who has capacity to take it on now.

Case type

A defective product matter needs someone who handles defective product work day to day, not a generalist. Practice area is the first filter.

Size and complexity

Some firms are built for catastrophic injury and multi-party litigation; others resolve straightforward claims quickly. We weigh what your matter is likely to involve against how each firm actually works.

Jurisdiction and licensing

Your matter is decided under Texas law, so it goes to an attorney licensed in Texas who regularly appears where your case would be heard.

Capacity and fit

Availability, conflicts of interest and language all matter. If the best-fit firm cannot take your case, we route it to the next one that can — or tell you plainly when no one in the network is the right answer.

Every partner reviews your case for free. Injury and workers’ compensation matters are handled on contingency — no fee unless you win. Other matters are quoted upfront, before you commit to anything.

Texas defective product attorneys work on contingency — typically 33% to 40% of recovery. With Chapter 82’s FDA/government-standards presumptions, manufacturer indemnity for sellers, and exemplary-damages cap, skilled counsel is essential. Case costs are advanced by the firm.

Typically the manufacturer, and in some circumstances the distributor or retailer. Texas has specific rules about when sellers can be liable. An attorney identifies every company in the chain, preserves the product as evidence, and pursues those with the resources to pay your claim.

Generally two years from the injury, though there are also limits based on when the product was sold. These deadlines are firm. Keep the product and receipts and contact an attorney quickly so they can confirm your window and start the investigation.

Yes. Do not return it, repair it, or discard it. The product, packaging, and purchase records are the central evidence, and experts need to examine it. An attorney arranges secure storage and sends letters requiring the companies involved to preserve their own records.

Texas recognizes manufacturing, design (risk-utility under Caterpillar v. Shears), and failure-to-warn defects under § 402A and Chapter 82.

Manufacturing defects are unit-level. Design defects require risk-utility analysis with reasonable alternative design (CPRC § 82.005). Failure-to-warn defects mean inadequate warnings.
