Product Liability & Toxic Tort

Our Product Liability and Toxic Tort Practice is distinguished by its experienced trial attorneys with a proven track record of successful defense through all stages of litigation. We represent product designers, manufacturers, assemblers, distributors, and sellers of every description in cases involving a broad spectrum of products. (See representative products listed below.) At Halloran Sage, we will effectively and efficiently:

  • Determine your company’s role in the case
  • Secure the evidence and gather the facts for a successful defense.
  • Determine if other individuals or organizations owe your company a defense or indemnification and, if so, make the necessary demands and file the required actions.
  • Determine if other individuals or organizations should be made parties to the case and, if so, file the necessary actions.
  • Find and retain the necessary experts to defend your company.
  • Most importantly, creatively and vigorously defend your company throughout the litigation and at trial to win your case.

Our product liability and toxic tort attorneys operate under the philosophy that the best defense requires a proactive approach. Rather than merely respond to theories advanced by attorneys representing the other side or wait for others to “run the case,” we immediately take control of the issues in the lawsuit and focus on the approach most likely to be successful in obtaining a cost-effective resolution. Our intricate knowledge of product liability defense leads to consistently successful results for our clients. In the field of product liability law, there is no substitute for experience and knowledge.

In toxic torts, we have successfully defended many companies in personal injury and wrongful death cases alleging exposure to various toxic substances. Our toxic tort experience includes cases involving asbestos, diet products (including fen-phen and Nutri-System), lead paint, medical devices, PCBs, pharmaceuticals (including DES, DTP vaccine, Hormone Replacement Therapy and Rezulin), TDI and other chemicals. In addition to defending product liability cases, we also represent premises owners and insurers.

Our defense experience ranges from single-plaintiff cases to large consolidated actions involving numerous plaintiffs represented by several law firms. Likewise, our experience spans cases in which we represent the sole defendant to ones involving multiple defendants with divergent interests. Our record demonstrates that we consistently manage these complex, multi-party cases to achieve successful results for our clients.
