Pursuit of Product Liability Claims
A defective or dangerous product can cause not only injury, but death in some instances. A product liability case can result from an unsafe product, deceptive advertising, improper labeling, misleading instructions and other causes.
At Treon & Shook, PLLC, we have taken to court manufacturers as large as Mazda and as small as Vitamin World.
Representative case: Our client was in an accident when her seat belt malfunctioned. She died as a result of an embolism caused by a seat belt injury.
Full Range of Product Liability Litigation Handled
Our AV-rated* attorneys have experience with a wide range of experts and issues related to product liability. In some cases, the experts who are retained for testimony can be a critical piece of the litigation. We work on a regular basis with engineers, forensic accountants, environmental experts, safety engineers and industrial hygienists to name a few.
Representative case: Our client was injured by a health food supplement (cascara sagrada is not recognized as safe by the FDA) which caused a tear in his colon and resulted in two surgeries and a colostomy. We are actively litigating against the manufacturer of the herbal supplement.

- Automotive products such as seatbelts, airbags, brakes and accelerators
- Medical devices
