I really need advice for a product liability case. I am in a bit over my head and need to hand it off to a large firm or settle, just don’t know if I am settling too low.

Maybe you can check to see if similar cases (same product, same/similar injury) have been previously settled and what the values were?

Products cases can be very expensive to litigate. Is this a multi district litigation matter that you can join? Conferring with a practitioner who specializes in this area might be helpful.

Tell us about it.

PM me. I handle plaintiff side PI cases.

*PL cases

Details! Details!
Products are very costly and difficult.
Cause of injury? Meds?
I’ve handled a few and work with some excellent products lawyers.

Take a breath. I am a product liability defense lawyer that likes to put pressure on the other side in a case. Evaluate your damages, liability facts and experts. You need the defense to understand that you are ready to try the case if you are going to get a proper offer.

Private message me with facts and damages. We can give you advice or associate in if necessary

I’m happy to help you or give you an evaluation. I’ve been doing plaintiff side product liability litigation for 30 years. Tell me about the liability and damages. Is your state a strict liability state?

I’ve done PI work my entire career for over 10 years. I’ve worked in state and federal courts and I’ve traveled around the country doing MDL work and bellwether trials. I’ve had a lot of success making the idiots I’ve worked for wealthy, but I’m still waiting for a moment where I enjoy what I’m doing. I feel stuck working in dysfunctional plaintiff firms/cultures. I hate this profession/career more and more each year. Has anybody been successful breaking off on their own in recent years? Advice?
