Product Liability
Experience can make the difference in successfully defending product liability claims. The lawyers at Donohue Brown have tried numerous product liability cases in state and federal courts across the country.

Our lawyers combine their legal skill and experience with broad technical backgrounds to develop strategic assessments early in these complex cases. We understand the needs of your business – including the interplay between regulatory scrutiny and production demands – that require a timely determination of potential liability and damages so an effective settlement and trial strategy can be adopted.
Our extensive experience also affords us the ability to work closely with our clients in a cost-effective manner. We know how to run product liability cases efficiently, from managing discovery to disqualifying expert witnesses to telling judges and juries compelling stories that deliver defense verdicts for our clients.
