Defective Products and Workplace Safety

Thousands of Americans are injured or killed by unsafe, dangerous or defective products each year. Victims of these products need a legal team of trial lawyers well versed in the intricate legal aspects of product liability cases, who can explain complex issues clearly to a jury, and who can match the resources and firepower of manufacturers who defend their products against attack.

Our firm has represented individuals injured by unsafe products, in settings as diverse as the home, a special needs school, the workplace and aircraft. Rob Stoney, our partner in charge of product liability cases, defended such cases for major manufacturers in the past, and uses that valuable experience in helping victims of unsafe products fight for justice.
