Product Liability
Trusted Counsel for Manufacturers, Distributors, and Global Brands
For over three decades, Derrevere Stevens Black & Cozad has defended some of the world’s most recognized national and international manufacturers in complex product liability litigation. Our trial attorneys have successfully handled claims involving alleged design defects, manufacturing flaws, breach of warranty, and failure to warn. From industrial equipment to consumer goods, automotive systems to construction products, we understand the stakes — and the science — behind product-related claims. We are skilled at managing high-exposure litigation while protecting brand integrity and long-term business relationships.
Our attorneys bring deep trial experience and technical fluency to every case. We collaborate closely with in-house engineers, product developers, and independent experts to build strong, defensible narratives grounded in fact and science. These matters often involve layers of regulatory compliance, expert testimony, and cross-disciplinary analysis, and we’re well-equipped to handle the complexity. Whether resolving claims through early negotiation or defending them through trial and appeal, we focus on strategic, cost-effective outcomes that align with our clients’ business objectives.
Product liability litigation demands more than legal skill — it requires a comprehensive understanding of how products are made, marketed, and used. At DSBC, we bring that understanding to every case we handle. Our clients trust us to protect their products, reputation, and bottom line with the highest level of professionalism and advocacy.
