We have vast experience defending manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, premise owners, and retailers against product liability claims. Our attorneys have represented clients with an array of products, from everyday consumer goods to large industrial machinery and equipment.

Defending product liability claims requires a sophisticated understanding of scientific, technical, and medical concepts relating to product defect and causation issues. These technical concepts form the factual predicate for effective legal defenses. Our attorneys have the experience to navigate these complex issues.
We are conscious that protracted litigation can be harmful for a client. As a result, we strive to resolve cases as efficiently and expeditiously as possible. To this end, we have a successful track record in employing alternative resolution methods to achieve settlement goals. In cases where that is not possible, our attorneys aggressively litigate to defend our clients’ interests and pursue every available defense.
