Defective
Products Lawyer

When a manufacturer puts a dangerous product in your hands without adequate warning or safety design, they're legally responsible for what happens next. George Oginni holds them accountable — from automotive defects to dangerous consumer goods.

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

Design Defect
The product is inherently unsafe because of how it was designed — even when manufactured perfectly as designed.
Manufacturing Defect
An error in the production process created a specific unit that deviated from the intended design — causing it to be dangerous.
Failure to Warn
The product carried known risks that weren't adequately disclosed on labels, instructions, or in marketing materials.
Automotive Defects
Faulty airbags, brake failures, tire blowouts, rollover risk — vehicle defects that cause or worsen accidents.
Medical Device Failures
Implants, surgical instruments, or devices that fail, break, or cause unintended harm inside the body.
Dangerous Consumer Products
Children's toys, power tools, appliances, or household products with hidden hazards or inadequate safety design.

What Damages Can You Recover?

Economic Damages
  • Medical treatment and hospitalization
  • Surgery and rehabilitation
  • Long-term care and disability costs
  • Lost wages and earning capacity
  • Future medical expenses
  • Property damage
Non-Economic Damages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of consortium
  • Wrongful death damages
In cases where a manufacturer knowingly concealed a danger or showed reckless disregard for consumer safety, Texas law may allow punitive (exemplary) damages on top of compensatory damages.

What to Do After a Product Injury

01
Preserve the product — do not discard it

The defective product itself is your most critical piece of evidence. Don't throw it away, repair it, or return it to the manufacturer.

02
Photograph everything

Document the product, your injuries, the scene, and any packaging or instructions. Photograph before any cleanup.

03
Seek medical attention immediately

Get treatment and make sure all injuries are documented in medical records tied to the product incident.

04
Retain the packaging and receipt

Model numbers, lot numbers, purchase dates, and seller information are all important for tracing the chain of distribution.

05
Do not speak with the manufacturer's representatives

They are building their defense from the first contact. Call George first.

Texas Product Liability Law

Strict Liability — You Don't Have to Prove Negligence

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.

Statute of Limitations — 2 Years

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.
