Liability Considerations in El Paso
El Paso's majority-Hispanic NEC population faces language barriers in pursuing litigation. Texas product liability law — strict liability, negligence, failure to warn — governs claims. El Paso's proximity to Ciudad Juárez creates unique cross-border family considerations. Texas's modified comparative fault (51% bar) applies.

Robert Denton
Partner — Product Liability
Houston, TX
Robert Denton has built one of Texas's most active NEC formula litigation practices over the past six years, representing families across Harris, Dallas, Bexar, and Travis counties whose premature infants were harmed by Enfamil Premature and Similac Special Care formula. His product liability background — initially developed in pharmaceutical and medical device cases — translated naturally to NEC litigation when the scientific evidence against Abbott and Mead Johnson became impossible to ignore. Robert has tried four NEC cases to verdict in Texas state courts and achieved several confidential settlements in the eight-figure range. He is a frequent speaker at Texas Trial Lawyers Association seminars on NEC science and the MDL bellwether process.
