Product Liability

Product liability claims can haunt your business. We can help you address the claim today and provide counsel for avoiding claims in the future.

UB Greensfelder’s Product Liability Practice Group represents clients in complex product liability cases nationwide that range from one-off cases to pattern or consolidated multidistrict litigations. We handle the entire range of product liability cases, including pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and other technologies, also spanning myriad manufactured products and consumer goods, as well as toxic tort and exposure claims.

Who We Are

We are dedicated to promoting product liability issues significant to product manufacturers. We actively participate in the Product Liability Advisory Council (PLAC), the International Association of Defense Counsel (IADC), the Defense Research Institute (DRI), and similarly focused organizations within national and local bar associations. We have a deep history in defending products liability cases, allowing us to draw on an institutional knowledge far greater than any individual, and enabling us to effectively resist efforts to expand liability in many key litigations.

How We Help

We represent manufacturers of many technologies from a wide variety of industries, including automotive, power plant components, heavy equipment, industrial systems, and a broad spectrum of tools and other personal use products. We also defend other firms involved in the supply chain for manufactured products, including product designers, component part suppliers, distributors, and retailers.

Our footprint extends to state and federal courts nationwide, ranging from individual actions to class actions and consolidated litigations. We routinely contest aggressive and sophisticated plaintiff attorneys in jurisdictions unfriendly to business interests across the country. Through preparation, creative presentation, and persuasion, we aggressively advocate for our clients in both the courtroom and at the settlement table.

Why Clients Choose UB Greensfelder

We staff individual matters with an experienced and lean team of attorneys and paralegals, though we also have the bench strength to handle larger litigations or litigation-wide roles in discovery, motion practice, and at trial. Our philosophy is to individualize each case and work aggressively to be able to evaluate early on whether a case should be identified as a candidate for trial or for efforts devoted to other satisfactory resolution of the case. Through this approach, along with focused discovery, case management, and trial preparation strategies, we add exceptional value to the services we provide. Additionally, because we have multiple offices in the Midwest with reach into New York and Florida, we have the geographic proximity to litigate cases regionally and nationally while allowing us to offer highly competitive Midwest rates on cases filed from coast to coast.
