The Products Liability Lawyers: the premier guide to recommended products liability attorneys, practice area news and legal insights.
Product liability is a doctrine that gives plaintiffs a cause of action if they encounter a defective consumer item. This doctrine is generally associated with strict liability, meaning that defendants can be held liable regardless of their intent or knowledge. Products liability lawyers have two distinct roles:
- Prosecuting individuals and companies that have created a product which caused harm.
- Defending manufacturers and businesses accused of creating, designing or selling a product that causes harm to the public.
We assist individuals, business directors and in-house counsel by providing a concise and up-to-date guide to leading products liability lawyers across the country. Our research covers all 50 states, with featured attorneys being selected based on the results of peer nominations, in-depth research, awards and client feedback. Our selection process is independent and it is not possible to request entry into the guide.
