Products Liability Practice [Severson & Werson]

Products Liability

Severson & Werson represents a broad spectrum of clients in products liability and toxic tort litigation, serving as lead counsel and as local, regional and national counsel. The firm’s attorneys have successfully defended products designed, manufactured (and/or insured) by its clients, including medical devices, hospital equipment, automobiles and trucks, wheel assemblies and other automotive components, construction equipment, sports equipment, food and beverage processing equipment, industrial chemicals, asbestos containing products, loading dock equipment, cleansers, industrial glues and adhesives, and a myriad of other products.

Severson & Werson has been the counsel of record in many high-profile products liability cases, both locally and nationally. The firm has represented some of the most recognizable and respected corporations in the country in all forms of products liability, including defense of product class actions, in both federal and state courts. Attorney teams have often joined forces to counsel clients in matters involving catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death, and the collapse of structures and equipment at building sites. Additionally, attorneys in Severson & Werson’s Insurance Practice Group act as Underwriters’ monitoring counsel on massive high-profile products liability cases.

When appropriate, the firm’s attorneys seek cost-effective means of ending lawsuits through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms or pre-trial motion practice. If those options fail, Severson & Werson lawyers have the skill and experience to pursue the litigation through trial before a judge or jury, and, if necessary, on appeal. The firm has also developed working relationships with an extensive group of independent, trial-tested consultants and expert witnesses.

Whether defending a products liability client in a single catastrophic injury case or acting as national litigation coordinating counsel for a client with millions of dollars at stake in a massive property claim, Severson & Werson clients are strongly supported by decades of in-depth legal expertise that is creatively applied to efficiently and cost-effectively meet the needs of the particular litigation.
