The objective of product liability and personal injury law is to avoid or deter unreasonable risks of harm.

The firm has substantial expertise litigating defect claims against motor vehicle manufacturers. The defects have included seat belts that failed to operate properly, tires that disintegrated, roof crush, and vehicles designed in a way that they were inherently unstable.
