Your Rights Under Texas Law
When companies put profits over safety, Texas product liability laws allow consumers to hold them accountable. Victims may be able to recover compensation for:
Medical expenses
Lost wages
Pain and suffering
Wrongful death claims (for families who lost a loved one due to a defective product)
At the Sebastian Nunez Injury Law, we’ve seen firsthand how devastating defective products can be. Our role is to help El Paso families secure justice and hold negligent companies accountable.
What to Do if You’re Affected by a Recall
Check official recall notices on the FDA and CPSC websites.
Stop using the product immediately.
Document your injuries and receipts.
Seek medical attention right away if exposed.
Contact a personal injury attorney to understand your rights.
Local Empathy: Protecting El Paso Families
El Paso is built on family and community. No parent should fear their child’s pajamas catching fire. No grandparent should risk illness from fruit bought at a trusted grocery store. And no driver should suffer catastrophic injury because an airbag malfunctioned.
That’s why Sebastian Nuñez Injury stands ready to fight for our neighbors.
