Considerations for Local Businesses in Houston

Houston's business landscape presents unique challenges for product liability. The Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act allows for triple damages in certain product liability cases, increasing potential claim costs. In 2022, Texas saw a 15% increase in product liability claims, with Houston accounting for 30% of these. The average claim in Houston exceeded $750,000, 20% higher than the state average. Houston's position as a major port city increases exposure to international product liability risks. The Texas Medical Center's presence drives high standards for medical device manufacturers, with liability claims in this sector growing by 25% since 2020. Houston's vulnerability to hurricanes also impacts product liability, with storm-related product failure claims spiking 40% during hurricane seasons.
