You Trusted the Product. The Manufacturer Failed You.
Every product you buy carries an implied promise: that it was designed safely, manufactured without defect, and comes with adequate warnings about its risks. When manufacturers cut corners, rush products to market, or hide known dangers to protect profits, people get hurt.
Texas product liability law allows injured consumers to hold the entire chain of distribution accountable — the designer, manufacturer, distributor, and retailer. George Oginni builds product liability cases using engineering experts, industry safety standards, and internal manufacturer documents to prove what went wrong and who knew about it.
Three Types of Product Defects
The product is inherently unsafe because of how it was designed — even when manufactured perfectly as designed.
An error in the production process created a specific unit that deviated from the intended design — causing it to be dangerous.
The product carried known risks that weren't adequately disclosed on labels, instructions, or in marketing materials.
Faulty airbags, brake failures, tire blowouts, rollover risk — vehicle defects that cause or worsen accidents.
Implants, surgical instruments, or devices that fail, break, or cause unintended harm inside the body.
Children's toys, power tools, appliances, or household products with hidden hazards or inadequate safety design.

What to Do After a Product Injury
The defective product itself is your most critical piece of evidence. Don't throw it away, repair it, or return it to the manufacturer.
Document the product, your injuries, the scene, and any packaging or instructions. Photograph before any cleanup.
Get treatment and make sure all injuries are documented in medical records tied to the product incident.
Model numbers, lot numbers, purchase dates, and seller information are all important for tracing the chain of distribution.
They are building their defense from the first contact. Call George first.
Early legal involvement allows us to retain experts, preserve evidence, and investigate before the manufacturer can hide or destroy records.
Texas Product Liability Law
Texas recognizes strict product liability — meaning you can recover from a manufacturer if the product was defective and unreasonably dangerous, even without proving that they were careless in any specific way. The defect itself is enough to trigger liability.
Product liability claims in Texas must generally be filed within 2 years of the injury. The 15-year statute of repose for product claims means cases must be filed within 15 years of the product's sale date. Call promptly — we evaluate your timeline at no charge.
