Tefteller Law represents Tyler residents injured by defective products. We take on manufacturers, distributors, and retailers so you can focus on recovering.
Products on Store Shelves Should Be Safe.
When They're Not, You Have Options.
A defective product injury can happen almost anywhere. It may happen at home, at work, on the road, or while using a product exactly as instructed.
Some products are unsafe because of poor design. Others are damaged during manufacturing, missing critical warnings, or sold without proper safety instructions. No matter how the defect happened, you shouldn’t be left dealing with the consequences on your own.
If you were injured by a defective product in Tyler or the surrounding East Texas area, Tefteller Law is here to help you understand your options and take the next step.
We review your case, investigate the product, and fight to hold the responsible parties accountable.
Types of Injuries Clients Have Suffered Because Of Dangerous Products:
Compensation You May Be Entitled to After a Product Injury
Medical Bills
We pursue recovery for all medical costs - emergency room visits, surgeries, rehabilitation, prescriptions, and any future care your injury requires.
Lost Income
If you've missed work or can no longer perform your job at the same capacity, we calculate and claim both current and long-term lost earning ability.
Pain & Suffering
Beyond financial losses, you've endured real physical pain and emotional distress. We fight to see those non-economic damages reflected in your settlement.
Punitive Damages
When a company's disregard for safety is especially reckless, Texas courts may award punitive damages - compensation designed to deter future misconduct.
What to Do After a Product Injures You
1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Your health comes first. Getting treated right away also creates an official medical record that documents the nature and timing of your injuries.
2. Preserve the Product
Do not throw away, repair, or continue using the defective item. Store it exactly as it was when the injury occurred. The physical product is a compelling piece of evidence.
3. Document Everything You Can
Photograph your injuries, the product, its packaging, and the scene. Save receipts, warranties, and any communications with the seller. Write down what happened while it's fresh.
4. Report the Defect
Notify the manufacturer, retailer, or distributor in writing about the defect and your injury. This creates a paper trail showing they were aware of the issue.
5. Stay Off Social Media
Avoid discussing the incident or your injuries online. Defense attorneys routinely search social media for posts that can be used to minimize or undermine your claim.
6. Contact Tefteller Law
The sooner you speak with a Tyler product liability attorney, the better positioned you'll be. We'll review your situation at no cost and explain your legal options clearly.

The Three Categories of Product Defects Under Texas Law
Knowing what kind of defect caused your injury shapes the entire legal strategy. Our attorneys find the correct theory of liability and build your case accordingly.
Design Defect
The product's core design is inherently dangerous - not the result of a manufacturing mistake, but a flaw in how the product was conceived. Every unit produced shares the same danger. Examples include furniture that's structurally unstable, electronics with inadequate heat dissipation, or tools with exposed moving parts.
Manufacturing Defect
The design was sound, but something went wrong during production. A specific batch of products diverges from the intended specification - contaminated materials, improper assembly, missing safety components. Most consumers never know their item is the defective one until it fails.
Marketing Defect
Also called a "failure to warn," this occurs when a product lacks adequate instructions or safety disclosures. Even a well-designed and properly manufactured product can be defective if consumers aren't told about known risks, such as dangerous drug interactions or improper-use hazards.
