In addition to our product liability defense in the field of fire science, Tedford & Henry is heavily involved in the defense of other types of product liability claims. Our members have experience in defending a myriad of product clients in cases involving automated devices, sporting goods equipment, and many others. We have also defended clients in toxic tort litigation, including asbestos and other chemical coverage and liability cases.

Regardless of the product in question, we are acutely aware that individual lawsuits against manufacturers can set dangerous precedents nationwide if not handled competently, whether the issues concern trade secrets, product details, or United States Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations. Regular communication with design engineers, safety professionals, and experts in the field help to set the stage for defense verdicts in these product liability cases.

Additionally, our knowledge of applicable legal standards and defenses to product liability claims serves to benefit our clients. Product claims are often litigated through trial as simple liability claims when, in fact, statutory provisions and relevant caselaw can serve to reduce, or even eliminate, liability. We believe that a proper application of legal principles is crucial to the defense of a product case, rather than such being an afterthought not considered until the end of trial.

Coupled with our ability to litigate product liability claims locally, our national practice allows us to serve our product manufacturer clients throughout the United States. Whether the client requires coast-to-coast litigation management, discovery compilation, or multi-jurisdiction trial attorneys, our extensive experience in national litigation is an asset to product sellers.
