Product Liability

Lawyers at Carmody & Torrance prosecute and defend product liability cases in both state and federal courts in Connecticut. We have represented a broad range of clients on these matters, from trailer manufacturers to utility companies and health care providers, in both serious personal injury and property damage claims. Representation on a products liability case begins with the investigation and carries through to the evaluation and litigation of the claims. We also offer counseling on areas of potential exposure and legal developments in the product liability field.

As with all of our matters, the attorneys at Carmody & Torrance work hard to fully understand the product or technology at issue through site visits, seminars, or expert consultants, in order to achieve the best possible outcome in each case.

Representative Matters Include:

  • Defending a large trailer manufacturer in a product liability claim brought after a highway accident that resulted in multiple fatalities
  • Defending a railroad tank car manufacturer in a product liability claim brought after a motor vehicle collision with a train resulting in multiple fatalities
  • Defending a manufacturer of an industrial mulch grinder in a claim brought by an individual who was seriously injured while climbing on the product
