Product Liability

We represent manufacturers, distributors and sellers, as well as designers, in defending a wide variety of product-related claims for personal injury, property damage and breach of warranty.

With engineering, science and technology backgrounds that allow them to provide valuable assistance to our clients our Product Liability Attorneys have an excellent track record of defending product liability claims involving injuries as a result of a product that was designed, manufactured, sold, and/or furnished by a person or company. They have handled claims involving all types of industrial products, machinery and tools, medical products and devices, motor vehicles, pharmaceutical products, household products, and recreational products.

In addition, our attorneys possess a fully bilingual capability that is essential to effectively represent clients in proceedings in both the Commonwealth courts and in federal district courts where proceedings are conducted in English.

We have the knowledge and experience to evaluate and litigate the unique issues presented in complex product liability matters. Our attorneys are also skilled in retaining and working with the finest expert witnesses to enhance our position that a product is safe.

Medical device and pharmaceutical defense requires that we stay on top of the rapid technological advancements and frequent changes in the law associated with drug and medical devices. These cases are often complex to litigate. Whether predicated upon allegations of defective design or manufacturing, these cases require attorneys who possess strong intellectual, organizational and technological skills.

Frequently, these are complex, multi-party actions brought in state or federal courts. McConnell Valdés' extensive experience in managing large cases has proven valuable and in this regard, we have been very successful. As the technology has developed, product liability issues have become more complex; our firm has responded by developing a professional staff that is able to meet today's challenges.
