Product Liability Defense
Background and expertise
Since 1986 we have been representing and acting as coordinating or general counsel for manufacturers, distributors and retailers in recreational product liability matters throughout the USA and the world. This includes but is not limited to bicycles, in-line skates, exercise and scuba equipment, and off-road vehicles. The firm routinely handles or supervises cases throughout the USA and has supervised cases throughout the world for various insurance companies and self-insured corporations. We act as national coordinating counsel for numerous self-insured recreational product manufacturers/distributors.
We advise on various legal matters including indemnity and release issues, insurance coverage questions, owners manuals and warnings, expert witness selection, product recalls, product testing and standards, inter-industry disputes and foreign law and service issues, structuring nationwide claims coordination programs, establishing product review teams, risk management and foreign law and service issues. We have assisted in structuring a product liability insurance program for manufacturers and distributors on a nationwide basis. We have participated in seminars and written published articles on these and related topics. In the litigation context we are also familiar with assumption of risk defenses, multiple defendant conflicts and joint defense issues, as well as defending against claims of manufacturing and design defects, failure to warn and breach of warranty.
Please feel free to contact us and we can provide you with industry references or examples of matters that we have successfully handled. Most manufacturers and distributors in the industry know who we are and much of our business comes from industry referrals.
