Products Liability

DRC has a long history working with some of the nation’s leading products liability attorneys, both pursuing and defending cases involving a wide variety of consumer products. Recent matters include sudden acceleration cases in the automotive industry and numerous pharmaceutical industry cases, where companies hid dangerous drug side effects from consumers.

DRC is called upon to educate jurors about the intricate details of a product’s intended use and how flaws in design, testing, and reporting have resulted in serious injury and death. DRC’s jury research helps gauge juror reaction on central issues, such as causation and apportioned liability, and determine juror outrage against a corporate defendant that may have hidden or minimized a product’s danger to the public. Of course, juror outrage in these cases is a driving force behind substantial punitive damages awards.
