Response Plan

Whether a company manufactures, distributes, or sells a product, it may be held legally responsible for a product’s alleged defects. The Products Liability Practice Group assists clients in implementing a product liability program that ensures preparedness and effective litigation. If a lawsuit is filed against a company, we take proactive steps to reduce, eliminate, or shift the risk associated with the allegedly defective product.

The attorneys within the Products Liability Practice Group are available to conduct on-the-scene investigations with experts to identify issues and collect facts. Experience has proven the importance of immediately investigating the scene of an accident, inspecting a product, and preserving evidence. We have a strong relationship with a team of experienced experts who consistently handle products liability cases and testify on behalf of all clients. This response plan identifies the evidentiary effects of reports, complaints, and other facts that may become crucial in motions to the court, during settlement discussions, or in ultimate issues at trial. By designing a plan that involves immediate client communication with the Products Liability Practice Group after a product is alleged to have a defect, we can ensure evidence and accident sights are not destroyed or altered, which could result in further litigation.
