Products Liability
Over the past 20 years we have literally built our firm--and our national reputation--on our ability to successfully, aggressively, and economically defend product liability claims. Today, no firm of any size, anywhere, offers greater experience and expertise in the defense of product liability actions, including claims involving vehicles, heavy equipment, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, power tools, electronics, construction equipment, controls, and a wide variety of other products.
Our success in defending product liability claims is based on a simple formula. We resolve cases effectively, and in a cost-conscious manner, without ever losing sight of the fundamental premise that the integrity of our client's product must remain beyond question. Segal McCambridge attorneys also help clients avoid product liability litigation by providing consulting services, training engineers and risk management personnel, drafting warnings and document retention policies, giving presentations to clients and industry groups, and authoring articles on product liability law.
While other firms, large and small, may dabble in the area, we have concentrated our practice on product liability defense for over 20 years. Our clients appreciate our vast trial experience, state of the art technology and resources, and proven results in numerous jury trials conducted in venues throughout the country. Above all, our clients enjoy security and peace of mind from knowing that their products, their businesses, and their reputations are well-protected by one of the foremost product liability defense firms in the nation.
