Product Liability & Personal Injury
A cornerstone of our practice, the Weinstein Trial Firm has for many years represented product, equipment and vehicle manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and sometimes their insurers, in claims of personal injury and wrongful death associated with the use or exposure to a variety of products, vehicles, machinery and substances.
We have a particular specialty representing manufacturers, installers and maintenance providers in the vertical transportation space, with extensive experience handling matters involving elevators, escalators, moving walkways, dumb-waiters, wheelchair lifts and buck-hoists, in nearly every application and environment.
Over the past 25 years attorneys of the Firm have defended—many times to jury verdict—hundreds of claims alleging product harm due to negligent maintenance or repairs, flaws in product design or warnings, or misrepresentations in product marketing
Our Approach to Product Liability & Personal Injury
We have a deep understanding of the complexities involved with products liability claims that starts with accident scene and product preservation, and includes document productions and witness testimony, vetting and securing the most knowledgeable experts in the field in support of our defenses, and dismantling our opponent’s experts’ theories with effective cross-examinations supported by our extensive library of authoritative literature and litigation materials.
We work hard to debunk unmerited claims with appropriate motions, and we have a track-record of success striking or limiting expert testimony and securing summary judgments in difficult cases.
However, we are always prepared to go to trial on any remaining issues and defend our clients’ products and services no matter what theories may be presented to a jury.
