Texas follows a strict liability policy in product liability cases. What that means is that you don’t have to prove whether the manufacturer or any other party was negligent or not.
Your only burden of proof is to ensure that the product you purchased was defective, which directly led to your injuries and damages.
You need to prove all these conditions support your product liability claim:
Proof of a direct link between your injury and the product defect
Proof showing how this defect led to injuries, death, or economic losses
The product was defective at the time of the accident
There was no way for the injured customer to anticipate the dangerous consequences of using the defective product
Proof that you directly purchased the defective product from the manufacturer or retailer.
