From individual products liability or chemical exposure actions to multidistrict litigation, mass tort consolidation, and/or class actions, Lowenstein Sandler’s Products & Specialty Torts practice defends companies in lawsuits in federal and state courts from the time litigation is anticipated or filed through fact and expert discovery, pretrial Daubert hearings, trial, and appeal.
We have handled cases involving numerous products, including: alcohol, automobiles, building materials, chemicals, and other commercial and consumer goods; industrial machinery; medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and tobacco; and various alleged environmental contaminants or widespread chemical exposure. We have also handled cases involving special circumstances, such as catastrophic events, or specialized areas, such as dram shop litigation. We provide preventive counsel regarding product warnings, document retention, and crisis management. Our broad familiarity and experience with medical, scientific, and technical issues translates into effective development of defenses to claims. Our attorneys are also experienced in the selection and preparation of expert consultants and witnesses.
Lowenstein Sandler’s Products & Specialty Torts practice recognizes that a lawsuit directly challenging the safety, efficacy, or handling of a company’s products or processing materials can drastically impede sales, tarnish the company’s reputation, and interrupt business operations. Our attorneys appreciate the importance of understanding the company’s business, handling the products liability litigation and, when necessary, providing advice in related disciplines such as insurance coverage or environmental counseling, to develop a comprehensive, customized strategy to manage legal, business, and public relations concerns and secure the most favorable overall outcome.
