Products Liability - Automotive & Transport
Our expertise in the defense of product liability lawsuits has been founded upon our experience and sophistication in the defense of product liability cases brought against manufacturers of automobiles, heavy-duty trucks, sport utility vehicles, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, buses, boats, railroad and other on-road and off-road automotive products.
This has required special expertise in accident reconstruction, occupant kinematics, biomechanics, rollover accidents and active and passive restraint systems. Our attorneys have been actively involved in the coordination of full-scale crash testing of automobiles and motorcycles, working with automotive engineering experts in preparing a strong, comprehensive and understandable courtroom defense. Automotive manufacturers in the United States, Japan, Korea, Sweden and Germany rely upon us as their select counsel for their sensitive cases.
