Fort Worth Product Liability Attorneys
Helping Victims of Defective Products
Manufacturers are held to a high standard when it comes to the production of their items. They must be safe for consumers, or contain a warning label if there are any potential dangers. When a product is not properly manufactured and tested or no warning labels are featured, it could cause serious injury to an individual. This is referred to as product liability and should be taken very seriously.

Types of Product Liability
Product liability occurs in three ways:
- When a product is not manufactured properly
- When a product does not have proper warning labels
- When a product is designed in a way that is unsafe for consumers
Regardless of the situation, if you were injured due to a defective product the Law Office of James M. Stanley can help take action on your behalf. Manufacturers should be held liable for their actions and our goal is to help you seek the compensation you need for medical expenses or lost income stemming from your injuries.

Product liability cases can be difficult to prove because it is necessary to present evidence that the manufacturer acted in negligence. We work with you in order to gather the necessary evidence, including the product itself, your medical records, and any other findings that can be used to your benefit.
