When a defective product should never have reached you.

A dangerous product injured you. The company knew the risk.

Defective vehicles, medical devices, machinery and consumer goods — we take on manufacturers and prove what they knew and when.

The overview.

Behind most defective-product injuries is a company that weighed the cost of a recall against the cost of a lawsuit — and chose to gamble with your safety. We pursue manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, uncovering internal testing, design decisions, and warnings that were never given. These are document-intensive, expert-driven cases, and they are exactly the kind our firm is built to try.
