Defending personal injury claims is about controlling risk – not just the risk of liability or runaway defense costs in a single case, but also the risk of regulatory scrutiny and product recalls, product redesign or unfavorable publicity. The product liability specialists at Lawrence Kamin anticipate these risks early. When the risk is bigger than an isolated case, we become part of our client’s risk management team. We work with a client’s management, in-house counsel, insurers, engineering and marketing departments to negotiate with regulatory agencies, create public relations strategies and evaluate product change.
Lawrence Kamin lawyers participate as client representatives to the Product Liability Action Council, chair a Defense Research Institute product liability specialized litigation group and regularly speak and present at the DRI’s annual product liability conference. Through these leadership roles, our litigators exchange information with other product liability professionals, receive warnings about anticipated legal trends in product liability law and learn the strengths and weaknesses of opposing counsel, leading testifying experts, mediators, jury consultants and others involved in product liability litigation.
Lawrence Kamin positions appropriate cases for direct settlement negotiations, mediation or summary judgment, but, when necessary, is an expert at taking cases to trial. Our attorneys have tried and won cases across the country against plaintiffs seeking damages ranging up to $20 million, and in jurisdictions as daunting as southern Alabama and the Rio Grande Valley. We explore settlement first, but know when to try a case and how to win.
