Our product liability attorneys focus on what we do best – obtaining the best result for our clients through jury trials, dispositive motions, or timely settlements. We have years of experience serving as national counsel for corporate clients, but are unencumbered by the size and accompanying overhead of a large law firm. Clients benefit from our nationwide, first-chair trial capacity and our cumulative knowledge of the products and industries we represent. Our national practice and product understanding eliminate the need for clients to train local defense attorneys on a case-by-case basis.

We enjoy a national reputation for trial and appellate practice and have defended manufacturers in state and federal courts in 48 of the 50 states. We have defeated every attempt to obtain punitive damages from our product liability clients, even though many of our cases have involved significant injuries and products subject to government complaints, recalls, or post-sale warnings.

Over two-thirds of our attorneys devote a significant portion of their practice to defending products in personal injury and property damage cases. Through our longstanding, national representation of Honeywell and Emerson, we have unmatched experience in accidents involving environmental controls and systems, including boilers, furnaces, water heaters, and other HVAC-related equipment. But our experience and national counsel practice extend far beyond that work. We have successfully defended scores of other manufacturers – such as General Electric, Graco, National Presto, Maytag, Tecumseh, and DeLaval – on dozens of products across the country. These diverse products include tractors, airplanes, boats, agricultural equipment, deep fryers, elevators, clothes dryers, high-pressure paint sprayers, space heaters, smoke detectors, alarm systems, dishwashers, food-processing equipment, capacitors, escalators, milking equipment, industrial sifters, feed wagons, tobacco, boat engines, shredding machines, bikes, and helicopters.

Our lawyers also have defended a variety of medical products and devices including breast implants, hormone therapy drugs, latex gloves, respiration/blood pressure monitors, sutures, anti-seizure medication, Propulsid, Ritalin, handicap lifts, wheel chairs, and anesthesia machines for clients like C.R. Bard, Dow Chemical, General Electric Company, Johnson & Johnson, MedMarc, Novartis Pharmaceuticals, and Ohmeda.
