Product Liability Litigation
Product liability defense remains one of the most challenging
and complex arenas for litigation. Because of the inherent
threat that these claims often pose to the very survival of a
business, and the complex and multifaceted issues at play in these
proceedings, the highest standard of counsel is required.
SNR Denton lawyers are widely regarded as leaders in product
liability defense and counseling. We help shape the legal
arguments and issues evolving within product liability law.
Our lawyers serve on a number of select boards and are active in
many organizations, including the Product Liability Advisory
Council and the Defense Research Institute. We also regularly
appear before US courts as amicus curiae on product
liability issues.
Whether claims are presented in individual
personal injury cases, class actions, or complex multi-district
litigation (MDL), our seasoned trial lawyers—many of whom have
advanced degrees in fields such as engineering, biology and
chemistry—work to develop early and effective strategies for the
disposition of cases. Our deep-rooted understanding of the
medical, technical and scientific issues at play in many product
liability cases enables us to structure a cost-effective and
efficient defense without the need for on-the-job
training.
Our lawyers and scientific professionals have
a wealth of trial experience in US federal and state courts, MDLs
and appellate courts throughout the United States, working on
behalf of virtually all industry sectors. In the UK, SNR
Denton has a great deal of experience advising on product liability
matters, from Trading Standards investigations, product recalls,
allegations of mis-selling and labeling and licensing
disputes.
We regularly counsel our clients and assess
liability in the creation, development, regulation and
implementation of new products, as well as when a client faces
product recalls. Additionally, we help guard and protect our
clients against potential suits in the face of constantly evolving
technology and government oversight. Regardless of industry,
venue and case complexity, SNR Denton’s product liability team
stands ready to creatively and cost-effectively defend your company
and its products.
