The attorneys at Flink Smith have the capacity and experience to handle the defense of product liability cases. We have been involved in cases involving a wide variety of products: asbestos, drill presses, a folder-cutter machine that makes cardboard boxes, candy, soup and other food products, bicycles, electronic sliding doors, football helmets, transformers, propane water heaters and even something as seemingly simple as a ladder.

Although the client provides typically the best witnesses and best experts, Flink Smith has used outside experts and consultants to assist in the defense of these cases. The attorneys work hand in hand with the client, expert and the insurer, if the client is not self-insured, to prepare the client for the rigors of defense of its product. Visits to the manufacturing site and conferences with key personnel are frequently part of the defense strategy.

From the initial investigation to preparing the clients for depositions, through trial Flink Smith’s attorneys are there to assist, guide and lead in the development and execution of defense strategy in order to obtain favorable results for our clients.
