Texas Construction Defect Lawyers
When faulty construction machinery causes harm, we hold manufacturers accountable.
From cranes and bulldozers to forklifts and power tools, construction sites depend on safe, reliable equipment. When that equipment fails because of a design flaw, manufacturing error, or lack of safety warnings, the consequences can be devastating.
At Potts Law Firm, our construction defect attorneys take on major manufacturers and distributors whose negligence leads to serious injuries or death. We handle the investigations and legal strategy to pursue justice for workers and their families.
How a Construction Defect Attorney Strengthens Your Case
When powerful manufacturers dodge responsibility, the right construction defect lawyer turns frustration into accountability.
Step in to Protect Your Rights
After an accident, corporations and insurers move quickly to protect their interests. We act even faster, preserving the equipment, securing maintenance and inspection records, and preventing them from twisting the facts.
Find the Flaw
We partner with mechanical engineers, product safety specialists, and forensic experts to uncover what went wrong, whether it’s a faulty hydraulic system, an electrical defect, or a missing guard that violated industry safety standards.
Build a Case They Can’t Ignore
Our team documents every connection between the equipment defect, your injuries, and the financial losses that followed. We present an evidence-backed case that exposes negligence and demands accountability.
Demand Compensation, Not Excuses
We pursue full recovery for medical expenses, lost income, rehabilitation, and long-term care. If the manufacturer refuses to accept fault, we’re ready to prove your case in court.
Types of Construction Equipment Defect Cases We Handle
Heavy Machinery Defects
Defective cranes, loaders, and excavators can cause life-altering accidents. We pursue claims involving failed braking systems, unstable lifts, or hydraulic malfunctions that lead to catastrophic injuries.
Power Tool & Equipment Malfunctions
From nail guns and saws to concrete mixers, even small tools can cause major harm when poorly designed or improperly labeled. Our construction defect claims lawyers hold manufacturers and suppliers responsible for dangerous products.
Safety System Failures
When roll-over protection systems, alarms, or emergency shutoffs fail, workers are left exposed. We investigate safety feature defects that violate OSHA standards and equipment specifications.
Component & Part Defects
Sometimes, a single faulty part (like a weld, hose, or electrical connection) triggers the failure of an entire machine. Our defective construction lawyers trace liability from component manufacturers to the companies that assembled and sold the final equipment.

FAQs About Construction Equipment Defects
How do I know if I have a construction defect case?
If a piece of construction equipment failed during normal use and caused injury, you may have grounds for a product liability claim. Our attorneys for construction defects can determine whether the failure was caused by poor design, manufacturing errors, or missing safety instructions.
Who can be held liable for defective construction equipment?
Liability can include multiple parties: the equipment manufacturer, component supplier, assembler, distributor, retailer, or negligent operator. Anyone who contributed to the defect may share legal responsibility.
What evidence do I need to prove the equipment was defective?
Preserve the equipment in its post-accident condition whenever possible. Photos, maintenance records, operator manuals, and witness statements are key. Our firm will coordinate expert inspections to strengthen your case.
What damages can I recover in a defective equipment lawsuit?
You may recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, future care, and, in some cases, punitive damages to penalize reckless conduct by the manufacturer.
Don’t Face Big Manufacturers Alone
Manufacturers and insurers have endless resources to defend themselves. You deserve a firm with the experience and determination to fight back. At Potts Law Firm, we stand up for construction workers, contractors, and families harmed by defective machinery and unsafe products.
