Product Liability Litigation

Our product liability litigation team has experience defending clients from a wide variety of industries. We have represented manufacturers, distributors and retailers in cases involving steel pressure vessels, tobacco products, athletic equipment, electrical wiring, firearms, motor vehicles, conveyor systems, asbestos, benzene and other chemicals, medical devices, drugs, food products, farm equipment, aerial lift devices, heavy earth moving equipment, waste treatment devices and numerous other products.

We have the resources and expertise to thoroughly investigate products claims, locate appropriate experts and manage costs. We also understand that to truly win a product case, it is necessary to understand not only the client’s product but the client’s goals regarding the outcome of litigation. Our lawyers have a history of successful verdicts if defending a case through trial is necessary. Or, if alternative forms of dispute resolution will achieve the better result for a client’s business, we can call upon years of experience with both mediation and arbitration.

Our attorneys also have significant experience helping clients avoid products claims altogether. We have provided consultation regarding proper warnings and helped developed claim prevention programs.
