More and more, we are seeing property damage caused by water, fire, and explosions as a direct result of a defective product. Many firms litigate but few actually litigate a product liability matter to completion. This is why we are trying to work with our clients to bundle these claims to increase the settlement value and decrease your operational costs associated with adjusting each claim. If you have questions about this process, schedule a consultation with one of our product liability lawyers.
