Product Description
Product Description
Whether it is something that can be bought in a store, a part in a machine, or an automobile, products liability claims can be complicated. Spend three hours learning how to bring a claim or defend one with an experienced panel of litigators.
The panelists provide a roadmap for prosecuting and defending against product liability claims under Massachusetts law. The expert faculty offers key strategies for addressing the complex engineering, biomechanical and medical issues raised, for developing the accident facts, and for using expert witnesses. Learn about the various types of product defect theories and common defenses, challenges to expert opinions, the evaluation of third party indemnity claims relating to component suppliers and distributors, evidentiary issues such as recalls and other incidents and considerations for effective presentation at trial.
