With lawyers skilled in product defense, we are prepared to deliver prompt and vigorous representation when product liability and warranty lawsuits attack the integrity and reputation of a manufacturer, distributor or retailer.
Luce Forward litigators have substantial experience in quickly and successfully defending manufacturers and sellers through negotiation, arbitration or trial.
To control the cost of litigation and maximize the predictability of the outcome, we believe in early case evaluation and include in our practice:
- standardized procedures to streamline case management.
- experienced paralegals and nurse consultants.
Luce Forward lawyers have often handled cases involving complex design and manufacturing processes and they work efficiently with engineers and design consultants. We have represented manufacturers and sellers of automobiles, seatbelts, firearms, industrial equipment, consumer goods, electrical equipment, pneumatic tools, hand tools and medical devices.
Automobile manufacturers: We have disposed of hundreds of breach-of-warranty claims without litigation. In jury trials, we successfully defended automakers against claims of unsafe brake design and unwanted acceleration.
Gun manufacturer: In a jury trial, we successfully defended the design of a semiautomatic pistol.
Industrial equipment maker: Based on our advice, a European manufacturer of complex shelving systems has instituted methods and procedures that have reduced its risk and exposure to potential personal injury and property damage claims throughout its worldwide distribution system.
