Products Liability

Manufacturers use their vast financial and legal resources to avoid being held liable for injuries or deaths caused by their products.

Example of a Defective Product

Our attorneys have handled products liability cases for all types of products, including:

• Auto equipment such as airbags, ignition switches, vehicle roofs, tires, and seat belts
• Heavy equipment used in industry and agriculture, including forklifts, asphalt rollers, tractors, balers, and front-end loaders

How is Liability for a Defective Product Determined?

In these, and in all products liability cases, there are three ways to assign liability for the defect. We look for a manufacturing or design error, inadequate warnings or marketing, or a breach of the manufacturer’s warranty. To determine liability, we use our extensive network of experts and investigators to determine where the negligent error occurred and who was responsible. These are complex cases to take on; there may be multiple companies, people, and even countries involved.
