Legal Grounds for Food Allergy Lawsuits in Texas

Allergy-related claims can be pursued in Fort Worth under several legal theories:

Product Liability

Under Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 82.001, manufacturers can be held strictly liable for defective or mislabeled food products that cause harm.

Negligence

Per Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 33.001, businesses or food handlers who fail to exercise reasonable care can be held liable when their actions—or inactions—lead to exposure.

If a food product was marketed as allergen-free but contained allergens, a breach of express or implied warranty claim may apply.

Investigation and Evidence Gathering
Your attorney will collect medical records, food packaging, receipts, witness statements, and inspection reports to support your case and identify liable parties. Experts may be consulted to verify the presence of allergens.
