CPR Takes On Product Liability Lawsuits

Investigating Product Liability Cases Requires Expertise, Experience and Resources

Looking into the root cause of a product liability claim requires a substantial amount of time and resources. The investigating attorney must have knowledge of product liability and personal injury law and the wherewithal to conduct a thorough investigation into your case. The product that caused your injury will need to be identified, examined and compared to other products of the same type, make and model. The type of product liability claim will need to be clearly identified, i.e., defective product, defective design, or inadequate warning or instructions for use, and a strong case will need to be built around the facts. We have the finances to conduct a thorough investigation of your case and will put up a fight for your rights.

With many product liability cases, there is a heavy reliance on the opinions of experts as to whether a specific, single product is defective, whether the whole line of products is inherently unsafe by design, or whether the product should have had warning labels or instructions on the product in order to enhance safety. The professionals at Cohen, Placitella & Roth have access to a unique network of experts, scientists and engineers that are leaders in their fields for consultation and who make for excellent witnesses in product liability cases.

Various tests will need to be conducted by qualified professionals on the product that caused your injuries. If the product was destroyed or damaged as a result of its use that caused your injuries, testing will need to be done on the remains of the product. Failure analysis will need to be performed to identify the exact fault in the product that caused the injury, and engineers and designers will need to be consulted as to whether an alternative design would have been a safer option.

All of the test results, expert witness testimony, your various medical records related to the injury and any evidence of other damage that was sustained as a result of the defective product (for example, property damage occurred when a defective product caught fire) will need to be prepared as evidence for your product liability case.
