Products liability litigation is a highly specialized area in which we have developed considerable expertise. We have litigated matters involving toxic substances such as asbestos, latex, chemicals and other alleged pollutants, as well as food and beverages, packaging, insulated glass products, flammable fabric litigation, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, construction products, farm equipment, vehicles, industrial machinery and equipment, and appliances. Collectively, Shea Stokes has handled hundreds of products liability matters covering chemical-related respiratory exposures and injuries involving commercial cleaning solvents and cleansers; and complex asbestos-related cases dealing with property damage allegations arising out of alleged negligent fixture installation.

Our attorneys are familiar with and strive to advance the law in areas such as labeling requirements, strict liability, and punitive damages. Shea Stokes has handled hundreds of products liability matters involving expert analysis and testimony used to assist the court and jury in understanding the perspective of the manufacturer at trial. We also have experience with class actions and mass tort litigation and have developed the necessary technological capabilities to reduce the costs involved in such complex, document intensive litigation.
