I hired Mullen & Mullen following a motor vehicle collision. I could not be more pleased with the Dallas personal injury lawyers I selected. They are the real deal! I was always kept in the loop on case developments. My attorneys sent the at-fault liability carrier multiple demands to make them agree to pay the policy limits. My lawyers also sent my own insurance company several demands to get them to offer me nearly the policy limits. A lot of attorneys would have given up and just recommended filing a lawsuit but Mullen & Mullen kept pounding the insurance companies until they did the right thing. This saved me a tremendous amount of money and time. I'm so very grateful that I found ethical, tenacious, and skilled attorneys to represent me. Mullen & Mullen gets my highest recommendation if you need a Dallas car accident attorney.C. Burnett

I’m only 22 and this was the first case I’ve ever had, I got recommended Mullen and Mullen by a friend who has used them plenty of times and said nothing but good things about them. I have yet to see or hear anything that contradicts her statements! Everyone on the Mullen and Mullen team has been super helpful and kind to me by explaining everything that had and needs to be done to get the case in the right direction. Greg especially has been very helpful by keeping me updated and answering any questions I might have about the situation, he’s been an amazing help and I’m glad I was able to get him assigned to help me get what I deserve from my car accident. Very professional and fast responses, If you are ever injured in a car accident I 100% recommend this team to fight for you, ask for Greg!

Joe Morrison with Mullen and Mullen was fantastic representing me for an injury on someone's property. He kept me updated through the entire 2 year process. If I had any questions, Joe took the time to personally take my call and provide answers. Joe negotiated a settlement very quickly and ensured I received a fair settlement. I highly recommend Mullen and Mullen and would hire them again if I need help in the future. Best experience with any lawyer I have ever had!!

I was injured in a motorcycle accident, and Shane Mullen took on my case with determination and empathy. His attention to detail and commitment to my case led to a favorable outcome. I'm grateful for his hard work and highly recommend Mullen & Mullen Law Firm.
I was involved in a car accident in Dallas texas off mockingbird. I was T bone by someone who had ran a red light. Me being a young female, I felt lost and taken advantage of by the other parties insurance.I chose Mullen Mullen because they were the only law firm who physically wanted to meet me and hear my side. They helped me with all on the medical assistance that I needed . Although it was a lot of therapy, I was really happy with the doctors they sent me to. Josh was very welcoming and I honest in the process. Every time I felt so at ease after speaking with him. I am so happy I had him on my case. Very hands on. Highly recommend!!!

It Honestly baffles me to see ANY negative or low reviews on this law firm. My case is far from over, however, I have never known a lawyer or law firm to not only give you their personal cell phone number but to also respond within 15 minutes. Never a complaint on the 10 plus text messages asking questions or the 2-3 paragraph e-mails. Never telling you it's to late or they are off the clock. They are NEVER off the clock. This firm has two or three lawyers dealing with numerous clients and STILL manage to do all they can to make you feel you are the only one. Try to remember they are human. They truly do everything to put you and your recovery first. The process is long but not something they have any control over. They don't control the Dr. Appointments or your recovery. They will help you find amazing Dr.s then it's up to you to be proactive in your recovery and keeping your appointments. It's been over a year and a half since my injury and my amazing, patient, and hardworking Attorney Joe has been here with me every step of the way. Hundreds of 5 star reviews. 3 or 4 low ones. You do the math.

Mullen and Mullen helped me change my outlook on life after the accident.The most important lessons I learned: 1) Do not try to navigate an personal injury case no matter the cause 2) Listen and follow the advice of your attorney. Get the best in Texas.Shane and Paul, thank you from me and my family.

You receive the quality medical attention you need from local providers near where you live or work. These providers specialize in treating people hurt in accidents of all kinds and they know how to properly document injuries to meet the legal burden of proof in your personal injury case. These providers are also willing to delay billing collections until after your case is resolved so you can focus on recovering without additional stress.

Even if you don’t have health insurance or can’t afford your deductible, Mullen & Mullen will secure you the quality healthcare and state-of-the art diagnostics you deserve with no upfront out of pocket costs.

You are the boss, and we will respond quickly to your requests for case updates and assistance. We guarantee that when you need to speak to your counsel, you will speak directly to your counsel, not to a paralegal or secretary, because that’s the way it should be.

FAQ

Below Mullen & Mullen’s attorneys in Dallas answer common questions and break down dangerous and defective product cases.

Design Defects v. Manufacturing Defects vs. Marketing Defects

A design defect can be established if there is an error in the way it was designed as opposed to how it was manufactured, i.e. an inherent flaw in the product.

You will need to establish an economically feasible and safer alternative design was available that would have allowed for the product to retain its usability and utility.

A manufacturing defect arises in how the product was made. It involves a mistake in the construction of a product and/or in the assembly of various components into the product.

You will need to demonstrate a safe design existed but that the product you encountered did not conform to that design.

A marketing defect revolves around a failure to warn of the dangers of a product or to provide instructions regarding the safe use of a product. Marketing defects are common in cases involving dangerous drugs, for example. The danger to you must be non-apparent and you must be using the product as it was intended.

You can be successful in arguing a defective product had a marketing defect even if it was designed perfectly.

About Product Liability Cases

Mullen & Mullen’s Product Liability Lawyers in Dallas Hold Companies Accountable Who Make Dangerous or Defective Items

Mullen & Mullen Law Firm can assist you in determining whether the product that injured you had a design or manufacturing defect that caused your injuries. Our dangerous and defective products attorneys have the knowledge, skills, experience, and financial stability to pursue product liability cases against companies who fail to account for safety or put profit over customer safety.

Roundup Cancer Lawsuits

What is product liability law?

When you purchase a product you do so assuming it is safe.

Unfortunately, often companies allow dangerous or defective products into the marketplace. These products can cause consumers to suffer significant injuries or even death. This area of law is generally referred to as “Product Liability“. In Texas, Civil Practice and Remedies Code Title 4 Chapter 82 specifically refers to these cases as “products liability actions.”

Who is to blame if you are injured by a dangerous or defective product?

Several parties could be on the hook for liability including:

  1. the company that manufactured the dangerous or defective product,
  2. the company that manufactured a component utilized in the dangerous or defective product,
  3. the wholesaler of the dangerous or defective product, and
  4. the retail establishment that sold you the dangerous or defective product.

Common Types of Texas Product Liability Claims

Whether a product was defective or dangerous should be examined on a case-by-case basis. Too many products exist in the marketplace to provide a definitive list. Below, however, are some of the more common products that could be found to be dangerous or defective.

Automobile Product Liability Claims

People use automobiles every day to go about their lives. Unfortunately, we have all read news stories where car manufacturers, or a company responsible for a component utilized in an automobile, failed to make sure it was safe for use. Some common automobile defective products include:

Unintended Acceleration

Toyota has been subjected to countless lawsuits based on allegations that certain vehicle models experienced unintended and uncontrolled acceleration issues due to mechanical or electrical issues. Recently, Ford and Tesla have also had to deal with allegations of unintended motor vehicle acceleration.

Rollovers

Many automobile manufacturers have allegedly produced vehicles prone to rollovers or that were designed in a manner that failed to protect the driver and passengers in the event of a rollover. Sport Utility Vehicles and Pickup Trucks are generally more likely to rollover than standard automobiles. In many cases the roof of the automobile was not designed properly or was not structurally sound enough to protect vehicle occupants.

Tires

Unsafe tires can lead to substantial injuries. In most cases alleging defective tires, vehicles lost control and experienced a rollover due to tread separation.

Non-Functioning Seatbelt or Restraint System

Seatbelts should be designed and constructed in a manner to protect both the driver and any passengers in the event of a motor vehicle collision. Sometimes, however, restraints do not function as they should. For example, in some impacts the seatbelt release mechanism can become disengaged or unlatched – effectively rendering the driver and any passengers unbelted.

Airbag Failure to Deploy

Most cars now have airbags to help protect motor vehicle operators and passengers in the event of a collision. Often, however, airbags fail to deploy under circumstances where they should have done so.

Fires After a Traffic Collision

Due to faulty design, some motor vehicles can catch fire following even relatively moderate collisions.

Unfortunately, these post-accident fires often lead to more significant injuries than the motor vehicle accident itself.

Car Seat Product Liability Claims

Infants, toddlers, and children are very susceptible to injuries in a motor vehicle collision. Car seats should be designed to protect them in the event of a crash. Unfortunately, some car seats are defectively designed or fail to work as intended due to a manufacturing defect that prevents proper restraint.

Construction Equipment Product Liability Claims

Construction equipment is inherently dangerous and design defects or manufacturing defects can often lead to traumatic injuries or death. Components of construction equipment can fail or fail to perform to minimum standards leading to devastating results. If you were hurt in a forklift incident, crane incident, or incident involving other heavy machinery, care should be taken to verify if the occurrence due to product or component failure.

Defective Fall Protection Product Liability Claims

Workers are often required to work at great heights. Those that do rely on fall protection such as lifts and hoists. When a lift or hoist fails, traumatic injuries or death are likely. Falls should be examined to determine if the equipment utilized failed to perform as it was designed or manufactured to perform.

Boat Defect Product Liability Claims

Boats and other watercraft are similar to automobiles in that design defects and/or manufacturing defects can lead to serious injuries or death. Many times, for example, boats can flip or lose control due to the failure of a component.

Child Toy Product Liability Claims

Countless companies manufacture toys for children that are sold by wholesalers and retailers across the United States. We expect these toys to bring only joy to our children. Too often, however, toys contain a defective part or poor design that can lead to choking deaths or other injuries such as loss of eyesight.

Companies have a duty to design these products to be safe for children and to warn parents of any dangers the toy(s) might present.

Mechanical Saws and Other Tool Product Liability Claims

Mechanical saws and other power tools are also commonly implicated in Products Liability cases. Often mechanical saws, for example, have faulty guards or lack a guard that would have prevented the loss of a limb or finger.

Firearm Product Liability Claims

Guns are obviously inherently dangerous. Numerous cases exist where a firearm was not designed to prevent “drop fires” or where the safety of a handgun malfunctioned.

Asbestos Exposure Product Liability Claims

Asbestos is a known carcinogen you or a loved one may have been exposed to at work, home, or in the community.

Asbestos exposure is often the cause of a rare cancer called mesothelioma which is found in the thin membranes that line the chest and abdomen. If you or a loved one were exposed to Asbestos and developed mesothelioma, you should immediately contact us to discuss a potential recovery.

Lead-Based Paint Product Liability Claims

3 out of very 4 homes built prior to 1978 contain some amount of lead-based paint which has been shown to be harmful to both children and adults. If you or your child has been diagnosed with lead poisoning, it is imperative you speak with a product liability attorney to review potential sources of the exposure.

What Damages are Available in Product Liability Cases?

You can potentially recover the following damages if harmed by a dangerous or defective product in Dallas:

  1. Pain and Suffering (Past and Future);
  2. Mental Anguish (Past and Future)
  3. Physical Impairment (Past and Future);
  4. Loss of Earnings in the Past:
  5. Loss of Earning Capacity in the Future;
  6. Medical Expenses Incurred in the Past;
  7. Medical Expenses You Will Incur in the Future; and
  8. Punitive Damages

The Importance of Expert Testimony in Product Liability Case

Do you need experts to establish liability in a Texas Products Liability claim?

Yes, almost always. The use of a safety expert, design expert, or other product expert is generally needed to establish liability against the company or companies responsible for creating the dangerous product and placing it into the stream of commerce.

Are experts expensive to retain?

Yes. Most experts require an initial retainer of at least $10,000 or more.

Do your Dallas product liability lawyers front the money to retain any necessary experts?

Yes. Mullen & Mullen’s Dallas product liability attorneys, or our co-counsel, will advance the money to retain the necessary expert(s) on your case. You will have no up-front cost associated with securing expert testimony as the expenses associated with retaining the expert will be taken out of the settlement proceeds of your case.

If you lose your case, do you have to reimburse our attorneys the expenses associated with retaining an expert?

No. You will not be required to reimburse us any money for hiring the necessary expert(s) if you do not obtain a final settlement.

Initial consultations are always free with a Dallas product liability lawyer. There is never a fee unless we obtain a settlement for your defective product case.
