PRODUCT LIABILITY

 

Our products liability practice serves people injured by defective items. These injuries can be the result of design defects, manufacturing flaws, or a failure to warn consumers of potential hazards.

 

Conversely, we defend companies against products liability lawsuits. These challenges to your company's goods and services can seriously damage your reputation. We provide skilled representation in civil court and negotiations to dismiss these problems as quickly and effectively as possible.

 

Our years of experience on both sides of these cases serve all of our clients. We have the added edge of knowing what your opponent is thinking.
