Dangerous & Defective Products: Dallas Product Liability Attorneys

When a dangerous product-from a faulty airbag to a defective medical device-causes harm, McMahon Dean steps in to hold manufacturers and distributors accountable. Our Dallas product liability lawyers represent consumers across Texas and Oklahoma, building cases that drive compensation and safer products.

Types of Product Liability Cases

Defective Design

The product is inherently unsafe-think vehicles prone to rollover or devices designed with weak components.

Manufacturing Defect

Something went wrong on the line: contaminated medication batches or cracked surgical implants.

Failure to Warn (Marketing Defect)

Missing instructions or inadequate warnings about known risks can make otherwise sound products dangerous.

Cases We Handle

  • Auto Defects: Airbags, tires, or braking systems that fail and cause crashes in Dallas traffic.
  • Medical Devices: Recalled implants or surgical devices that fracture, migrate, or fail prematurely.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Medications with undisclosed, serious side effects or inadequate warnings.
  • Consumer Products: Electronics that overheat, tools that shatter, or children's products with choking hazards.

Our Approach to Product Liability

Product claims often pit everyday people against well-funded corporations. McMahon Dean assembles teams of engineers, materials scientists, and medical specialists to test products, reconstruct failures, and prove causation. We handle individual suits and, when appropriate, coordinate with mass-tort litigation to maximize leverage.

Results & Impact

Beyond compensation, these cases can prompt design changes and stronger warnings-making communities safer for everyone.

FAQs: Product Liability

  • What do I have to prove?

    That the product was defective and unreasonably dangerous, your injury occurred during intended or foreseeable use, and the defect caused your harm.

  • Do I sue the manufacturer or the store?

    Often the manufacturer-and sometimes others in the supply chain. Texas law allows claims against multiple responsible parties.

  • The product was recalled-does that help?

    A recall can support your case, but it isn't required. You may still have a claim without one.

  • Is this a class action or mass tort?

    It depends on the product and number of injuries. We'll advise whether to pursue your claim individually or as part of broader litigation.

  • What compensation is available?

    Medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and, in egregious cases, punitive damages.
