Who we help and common product cases

From everyday consumer goods to specialized medical devices and industrial tools, product defects can injure anyone. We tailor our strategy to the type of product, its supply chain, and the standards that apply.

Consumer products

Household appliances, electronics, toys, and tools that spark, overheat, break unexpectedly, or lack clear warnings.

Medical devices & medications

Devices and drugs with design or manufacturing deviations, insufficient warnings, or undisclosed risks causing harm.

Industrial and workplace tools

Saws, ladders, lifts, and safety equipment that fail on the job. We evaluate third-party liability alongside any workers’ compensation benefits.

Automotive parts

Tires, airbags, brakes, and fuel systems. We coordinate with crash investigations and related auto injury claims.

Children’s products

Cribs, strollers, carriers, and toys where small parts, entrapment, or materials create foreseeable hazards.

Home & building systems

Wiring, plumbing components, and detectors that fail to perform, causing fires, floods, or toxic exposures.

Our approach: preserve, prove, and maximize recovery

Product cases are evidence-intensive. We coordinate engineering analysis, medical documentation, and insurance strategy to connect causation and damages—and to hold each responsible party accountable.

Evidence preservation & chain of custody

We secure the product and packaging, document serial/lot numbers, and arrange safe storage to maintain admissibility for testing.

Expert analysis that explains “why”

Engineering and human-factors experts test hypotheses about design, materials, and warnings—linking defect to injury with objective findings.

Defendant mapping across the supply chain

Manufacturers, distributors, and sellers may share responsibility. We trace sourcing and distribution to include all liable entities.

Coverage mapping & coordination

We review product liability and general liability policies, auto or homeowner’s policies where relevant, and health benefits to maximize recovery.

Treatment-first coordination

Your recovery drives our strategy. We help coordinate medical care and document injuries thoroughly to support your claim.

Regulatory & recall research

We review public safety data and recall notices when relevant, including resources like the Consumer Product Safety Commission (cpsc.gov) and FDA (fda.gov).

Product Liability FAQs

Quick, plain-language answers to help you protect your rights and strengthen your claim.

What should I do with the defective product?
Keep it intact and secure with all parts, packaging, instructions, and receipts. Do not attempt repairs or further use. We’ll advise on safe storage and arrange expert testing when appropriate.
Can multiple parties be liable?
Yes. Manufacturers, component suppliers, distributors, and retailers may share responsibility. We map the supply chain and include all appropriate defendants to maximize recovery opportunities.
Do recalls affect my claim?
Recalls can be relevant evidence but are not required to bring a claim. Some dangerous products are never recalled. We review recall databases and regulatory filings as part of our analysis.
Do I need to keep receipts, packaging, or instructions?
Yes. Purchase records, packaging, barcodes, and manuals can help confirm model numbers, production dates, warnings, and the chain of sale. Keep them together with the product.
How long do I have to file?
Deadlines vary by state and claim type. Because product testing and evidence preservation take time, it’s best to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights and meet all time limits.
Should I contact the seller or manufacturer before talking to a lawyer?
Get legal guidance first. Company representatives and insurers may request statements or the product itself. We’ll help you respond appropriately while preserving your claim and the integrity of the evidence.
