Do I Need a Dallas Toy Defect Attorney to Handle My Case?

Claims against toy manufacturers for damages caused by defective toys are notoriously complex. Toy manufacturers have teams of influential attorneys on hand so that plaintiffs will have a fight on their hands. Also, the toy companies and their insurers will do everything possible to ensure their product’s reputation remains unharmed. As such, they are likely to deny any claim you make.

Therefore, hiring an experienced Dallas toy defect attorney is important to handle your toy defect case.

The toy defect attorneys at The Benton Law Firm will clearly and thoroughly explain the claims process to you and will keep you informed about the status of your claim throughout your case.

Your attorney will also collect all the evidence necessary to ensure you have a strong case against the toy manufacturer. This may include taking the deposition of the toy company’s executives to learn how the product was designed and manufactured. Your attorney will also attempt to discover if the toy company knew their product could harm young children yet chose to bring it to market despite its dangers.

An experienced toy defect attorney will also retain the experts necessary to prove that the toy that injured your child was defective and dangerous. They will also obtain opinions from medical experts to prove that your child’s injury resulted from the defective toy.

Dallas Defective Toy Injuries

Different types of defective toys can injure a child. These include:

• Dolls and stuffed animals and their accessories;
• Any electric toy that can overheat or cause burn injuries;
• Any toy small enough to cause asphyxiation;
• Toys with strings or ribbons which could strangle a young child;
• Any toy that has sharp edges or points; and
• Toys made with lead paint or other toxic chemicals;

Any case brought against a toy manufacturer will involve a claim under Texas’s product liability laws.

To prevail against the toymaker, you must prove one of three different theories:

1) Design Defect: To prove that the toy contained a design defect, it must be shown that the toy was dangerous, that a similarly-priced yet less dangerous design for the toy could have been used, and that the alternative design would have reduced the risk of injury to the child.

2) Failure to Warn: A toy may also be considered defective if the toy manufacturer does not warn of the dangers involved in its use. If the danger presented by the toy is unexpected or unforeseeable, a warning must be provided to the consumer.

3) Manufacturing Defects: Toys with this defect usually occur due to a glitch in the manufacturing process or during the quality control phase of production.

No matter which theory your case proceeds under, you will not have to prove that the company was negligent. That is, if you can show that there was a defect in the product and that defect caused harm to your child, you will prevail in your claim.
