Downtown Houston Product Liability Lawyer
Americans enjoy the convenience of millions of consumer products that make our lives easier. These products are designed, manufactured, and marketed by huge corporations that put out thousands of new offerings every year. Unfortunately, many products are found to be dangerous or defective and may later be recalled. However, during their availability, they may cause harm to consumers who buy and use them, resulting in injuries that can disrupt their lives, lead to hefty medical expenses, loss of wages, pain and suffering, and more.
If you have suffered an injury through the use of a defective product, you may have grounds for a product liability claim against the manufacturer and its supply chain. Like other personal injury claims, you may be awarded compensation for the damages and losses you have suffered through a negotiated settlement or, where that does not lead to a fair result, through a trial in court. At Alex the Defender, we serve Texans in seeking fair and just compensation for what they have endured through the use of a defective or dangerous consumer product.

Many examples of product liability have been in the news in the past years, including class action lawsuits against the weedkiller Roundup based on cancer claims as well as similar claims against talcum powder, claims against certain hip replacement devices, and more.
Making a claim against a large product manufacturer is a complex matter in which you will have to fight powerful corporate interests. These companies employ their own legal teams to fight liability and will go to great lengths to avoid paying out large settlements. Our firm has the knowledge, drive, and tenacity to help you by building your claim with supporting evidence to present a well-prepared case for negotiation. We are dedicated to providing you with the quality of representation you deserve in the wake of negligence-based injuries due to defective products.
