Tort and Product Liability

The tort and product liability lawyers at Murtha Cullina LLP have substantial experience defending clients ranging from Fortune 500 corporations to closely-held companies in complex product liability cases and other tort claims for bodily injury, death or property damage. Our broad experience as trial lawyers includes cases implicating issues of safety engineering, accident reconstruction, speed analysis, fire and explosion cause and origin investigation, structural and mechanical failures, product design claims, manufacturing processes, warnings and labels, toxic substances exposure, and chemical and pharmaceutical formulations. We have litigated many of the emerging and hotly disputed legal issues associated with these kinds of cases, including apportionment and contribution, joint-defense and common-defense privileges, governmental and nonprofit immunities, regulatory violations, hazardous-activities liability, the interrelationships between tort and workers compensation doctrines, the impact of tort reform legislation, and the admissibility of expert testimony.

We have obtained successful results for our clients in significant and complex cases through our effective use of litigation management tools, such as early case assessment, and through our efficient implementation of a variety of innovative legal and technical strategies. We manage discovery intelligently and pursue resolution aggressively. Recognizing that avoidance of litigation is also a priority for our clients, we are able to assist on issues of insurance, risk management, recall/retrofit problems, and document retention.
