Clients in a variety of industries entrust their defense of product liability claims to Dinsmore. Our team is comprised of skilled attorneys with decades of experience defending product liability claims for nearly any type of product, including mechanical, electrical, medical device, pharmaceutical, recreational, automotive, cosmetic, food, home goods and textiles. We also have developed a stable of subject matter experts in these disciplines, and we draw on our experience to help prepare them in providing critical and reliable testimony when claims arise.
Understanding the reputational and financial harm such claims can bring, we work closely with clients to tailor strategies that fit their needs, including taking matters to trial when appropriate. Our team has experience handling product liability matters in jurisdictions across the country, including serving as national trial counsel or national coordinating counsel for a variety of clients. In these positions, we defend individual cases throughout the country and both class action and consolidated cases in state and federal court. In addition, we assist clients in establishing a network of local and regional product liability trial counsel to defend mass tort and complex litigation.
Our experience has resulted in our attorneys developing a series of sophisticated case management applications and procedures that enable us to efficiently and effectively manage complex tort cases—conducting discovery of large numbers of plaintiffs; coordinating written discovery responses for cases pending in multiple jurisdictions; and managing extremely large document productions. We also have deep experience in early case evaluation and resolution, and we work alongside our clients to devise a path forward toward the optimal result for their business.
