Products Liability

Products liability cases often involve issues relating to design and manufacturing defect, and other technical or specialized inquiries. These cases are typically expert-intensive. Our attorneys have a background in science and statistics, as well as product design and intellectual property. This gives us the know-how to communicate with experts, in order to prepare them, and to translate and communicate their opinions to the lay audience, whether that be a judge or a jury.
