Provided by Troutman Pepper Locke LLP
We help clients navigate the complexities of product liability litigation. With extensive experience in multidistrict and class action litigation across the U.S., we provide strategic and comprehensive services, including defending product liability cases in first-chair, national coordinating counsel, and settlement counsel roles; and providing advice to mitigate future claims. We are nationally recognized for securing defense verdicts in complex product liability trials involving mass and catastrophic injuries.
Whether a case involves a complex mechanical or electrical product, food product, chemical, pharmaceutical, or medical device, we understand our clients’ products, including the details of a product’s design, manufacture, distribution, marketing, and labeling. Our attorneys are skilled forensic investigators who comprehend the scientific, engineering, and practical aspects of client products, and are well versed in disease physiology and trauma biomechanics.
Our attorneys help clients mitigate product liability claims through product design and quality control counseling, and draft and evaluate product instructions and owner manuals, warning labels, product literature, supply chain contracts, distributorship and licensing agreements, and warranty documents. We also advise manufacturers, insurance companies, and industry trade associations on case management and strategy, document retention, information gathering, and quality control.
