Under some circumstances, manufacturers or suppliers of goods may be liable if someone using their product is injured. For example, liability may result if a product is not designed or put together correctly, or if the consumer is not adequately warned of potential risks or dangers.

However, liability for injury caused by a defective or dangerous product is not automatic. Certain defenses are available, and manufacturers and suppliers may, in some circumstances, act to insulate themselves from potential liability.

Members of the Litigation Group are well-versed in the nuances of product liability law. If necessary, we are prepared to defend manufacturers and suppliers in these types of actions, including identifying and taking advantage of all available defenses.

A client may be entitled to indemnity, or reimbursement, from a third party even if the client is determined to be liable. We are skilled at identifying these situations as well, and will aggressively pursue any indemnification rights our clients may have.

Finally, why wait until there is a problem? Because we are thoroughly familiar with product liability law as a result of defending these claims, the members of the Litigation Group are qualified and poised to advise clients of the steps they can take in advance to protect themselves and reduce the risk or extent of potential liability.
