PRODUCT DEFENSE

 

At AndersonGlenn LLP, our law firm’s traditional focus is on product liability defense in the areas of car, boat, and RV industries. Our practice includes the defense of product designers, manufacturers and sellers and counseling related to claims arising from specific instances of injury. Spring boarding Greg Anderson’s 25-year involvement in these industries, the firm continues to expand its product base of knowledge and legal acumen in preference to its select clients in order to provide the highest quality and most efficient product defense available.

 

Characteristically, product liability is broken down into two areas.

 

• Product defects causing personal injury, i.e. the “traditional” product liability case.
• Defects in the product itself, resulting in so-called “warranty” or consumer actions deriving from contractual rights.

 

Our Expertise

 

AndersonGlenn LLP is widely recognized for its expertise in warranty law. And, the firm has an even longer-term commitment to the defense of traditional product liability claims against its clients. The clients we represent include manufacturers, distributors, sellers and insurers of boats, marine equipment, aircraft and other aviation products, motor vehicle products and components, sporting equipment, such as ski bindings and diving boards as well as asbestos products.

 

Over the years, our Florida product liability defense attorneys have defended claims of crash-worthiness, including a so-called “minivan lift-gate” litigation, asbestos claims, crash-worthiness cases in both the automotive and maritime context, “unintended acceleration” claims, rollover and handling claims, RV weight distribution claims, mold and toxic tort allegations, slip and fall “skid resistant” surface cases, and manufacturing defect cases.

 

Of particular note are cases involving fires, where the firm’s expertise and relationship with the very best fire causation experts in the world provides the highest quality and most experienced defense available. At AndersonGlenn LLP, our attorneys regularly defend car, boat, and RV cases involving both combustible and electrical fires. Indeed, the firm has never lost a fire related case in its 18-year history.

 

Along with a wide scope of products liability experience, AndersonGlenn LLP has particular expertise in the following areas:

 

•  Automobile, RV and marine fires
•  Automotive, RV, and marine crash-worthiness
• Alleged mechanical and manufacturing defects such as occupant safety mechanisms (door latches, lift gates, and airbag)
• Slip and fall maritime accidents

 

Our work in the area of product liability extends to counseling clients on product recalls, various issues arising form recalls, as well as matters related to product design and warnings.

 

In addition to its experience and defense of product claims, our attorneys have had considerable success on the plaintiffs’ side, including the first and only successful prosecution of a defective microwave oven burn case and a transmission failure roll-over case with verdicts in excess of seven figures.
