Product Liability

• Manufacturers are held responsible for design flaws that cause injury to consumers.  This can be established by a failure to warn.
  
• Requires resources and expertise to successfully litigate these types of cases.
  
• Asbestos cases and chemical exposures, such as popcorn workers exposed to butter flavoring.

Product liability practice is a sophisticated and specialized area of the law that requires resources and experience that run a little deeper than basic personal injury work.

These cases can only be pursued successfully if the firm can enlist the proper experts in product design or safety to demonstrate to a jury that a devastating injury could have been avoided if the manufacturer had behaved responsibly.

Through past efforts, our firm has had a long history of success in product liability litigation, starting with our work in asbestos cases over the last 35 years.  We have also pursued product liability cases on behalf of victims of chemical exposures causing lung injuries and blood disease like leukemia.  Some of these cases have resulted in substantial recoveries for men and women who have suffered devastating lung injury after their occupational exposure to diacetyl, a butter flavoring, used in the manufacture of microwave popcorn and other snack foods.  We have also represented victims of industrial accidents that have been seriously injured because of defective equipment such as  poorly designed tow motors or defective presses.
