Products Liability
Inherent in the process of manufacturing is the risk that no product, regardless of the safety of its design, the clarity of its labeling, the regulation of its purchase and usage, is liability proof. Porter Scott attorneys offer manufacturers, sellers, importers and distributors exceptional legal counsel and advice in the defense and management of product liability claims based on negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty.
In the absence of federal products liability law, many states have enacted comprehensive products liability statutes. Product liability claims are often technical and complex. Porter Scott attorneys focus on early case assessment. The firm's attorneys are especially skilled at developing factual and legal defenses for complex scientific and technical issues. Attorneys work side by side with clients to identify and reduce risks. We defend clients against manufacturing defect, design defect and inadequate warning label claims. In addition to litigation services, Porter Scott helps clients assess internal practices and provides advice on product liability prevention including employee training, warnings and instructions, advertising and product literature.
