Product Liability

While Woods, Fuller handles a broad range of litigation matters, many of our litigators specialize in product liability cases. The skills, strategies, and trial experience developed and employed in other areas of litigation complement our product liability practice.

We have handled product liability matters for local, regional, and national companies, involving airplanes, helicopters, railroad equipment, farm equipment, herbicide, trailers, tires, lumber, PVC cement, breast implants, coffee, fans, and other household appliances, to name only a few. This litigation has been venued in state and federal courts throughout South Dakota.

Expert witnesses are a key part of product liability litigation, and we work with our clients in identifying and retaining expert witnesses who will be credible and compelling. Good expert witnesses are critical not only to the issues of liability and causation, but also on medical questions and economic loss. As a result, we have developed contacts and relationships with experts from many disciplines throughout the United States. It is equally important, of course, to challenge the admissibility and credibility of the opposition’s experts, and we have successfully challenged opposing experts on many occasions.

Our goal is to provide our clients with a thorough and complete defense while at the same time being conscious of costs. We generally have no more than one or two attorneys handling a matter. If a case requires the attention of more than two lawyers, however, we have the depth and resources to meet the needs of the client.
