Product Liability
We trust that the cars we drive, the tools we use, and the products we bring into our homes are safe. When a manufacturer cuts corners in design, makes a product badly, or fails to warn about a known danger, people are hurt. The team at Borland Phiffer Law protects consumers' rights and holds manufacturers and sellers accountable for unsafe products.
Companies that profit from a product are responsible when it is unsafe.

By the Numbers
In 2024, an estimated 38.8 million people in the United States were treated for injuries involving consumer products. (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 2024 Annual Report of Deaths and Injuries)
Common Causes
Design defects that make a product unreasonably dangerous
Manufacturing defects in a single product or batch
Missing or inadequate warnings and instructions
Defective vehicle parts, tires, and airbags
Dangerous tools, machinery, and oilfield equipment
Recalled products still on the market
Protecting Your Rights
Keep the product and its packaging, and do not try to repair it.
Get medical care and tell the doctor how the injury happened.
Save receipts, manuals, and any recall notices.
Take photos of the product and your injuries.
Talk with a lawyer before contacting the manufacturer.
Holding Manufacturers Accountable
Product cases depend on the product itself, so preserving it is the first step. We work with engineers and other experts to find out how it failed, whether a safer design was available, and what the company knew. We look at every company in the chain, from the designer and maker to the distributor and seller.
What Compensation Can Cover
Depending on the facts, a claim may include:
Past and future medical expenses
Lost wages and lost earning capacity
Physical pain and mental anguish
Physical impairment and disfigurement
In a death case, the losses suffered by the family
Common Questions
What if I threw the product away?
Call us anyway. Photos, receipts, other units of the same product, and recall records may still help prove the case.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Texas, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury, and some claims have shorter deadlines. Talk with a lawyer as soon as you can so the evidence and your deadlines are protected.
What if I was not using the product exactly as the directions said?
You may still have a claim. Manufacturers must plan for the ways people can reasonably be expected to use their products. How you used the product can affect how fault is divided, so talk with a lawyer before assuming you do not have a case.
Does it cost anything to talk with you?
No. The consultation is free, and there is no obligation.
