PRODUCT LIABILITY GROUP

EXPERTISE BASED ON EXPERIENCE

The attorneys who practice product liability law take very seriously our responsibility to the manufacturers and the distributors we represent. We take pride in the close working relationships we have developed with the corporate attorneys and risk managers of our clients who, in some case oversee limited numbers of cases involving a product, while others oversee thousands of matters. We are sensitive to the need to tailor the scope of our services to the size and complexity of the particular litigation. We encourage clients to work with our lawyers at the inception of the case to formulate a budget for each of the different phases of the litigation.

BODELL, BOVÉ, GRACE & VAN HORN makes a special effort to evaluate our client's potential liability in a case as early as possible. We have proven our ability to extract our clients from litigation by summary judgment or other pre-trial motions.

A RECORD OF SUCCESS

Our product liability practice is diverse. We have extensive experience with cases involving medical devices and pharmaceutics. We have served as regional coordinating counsel for manufactures of products who have litigated on a national scale. We have had a major role in the pedicle screw litigation, and represented and represent clients who manufacture a wide variety of medically related products. We have had an impressive record of success in the defense of cases we have taken to trial, as well as in the settlement of cases prior to trial.

In order to keep abreast of the rapidly evolving trends in product liability law, our attorneys take advantage of the continuing education offered by such national organizations as the Defense Research Institute, The International Association of Defense Counsel and the Federation of Insurance and Corporate Counsel. Our attorneys have also shared their trial skills and knowledge of product liability law with our clients, their staff attorneys and risk managers as well as other defense attorneys around the country by teaching at seminars and numerous national organizations including the National Judicial College.
