Strict Liability

Personal Injury Lawyer in Houston

When you purchase a product and use it correctly, you should be free from danger from the product when it is used according to the directions supplied, as should those around you. However, if the product is defective or otherwise manufactured incorrectly, you can unknowingly be harmed. Strict Liability essentially states that a company can be held liable for harm caused by one of their defective products, even if they did not exhibit negligent behavior when creating it. Strict Liability can also be applied to owners of pets that attack another person, or otherwise cause harm or damage.

If you have suffered personal injuries due to a defective product, or other cases involving Strict Liability, contact a Houston personal injury attorney at The Doan Law Firm, P.C. in order to discuss the circumstances surrounding what happened and learn how to proceed with legal action against those responsible. Our attorneys are passionate about helping clients obtain financial compensation for their suffering and fight tirelessly on their behalf. We are fully committed to our clients and will be available throughout the process to provide ongoing counsel, as well as answer any questions you have.

Who is liable for my injuries?

Even if a company didn’t deliberately design or manufacture a defective product, they can still be held accountable for injuries the product caused, provided those injured can prove key facts, including:

• The product was defective
• The product was unsafe for use due to the defection
• The defective product caused the injuries

If you have been injured by a defective product, or other scenarios in which the party ultimately responsible for injury could be held strictly liable, you have legal recourse in civil court. Your injuries may cost you thousands of dollars in medical bills and can even affect your ability to work. Actions taken by others led to you being injured should be addressed by one of our responsive and dedicated legal team at the firm.
