"Pretrial Battles in Product Liability Cases"

Article

Below is an excerpt:

Prevailing on questions of admissibility is critical to success in defending products liability cases.

The purpose of this article is to address certain types of evidence that plaintiffs regularly — and improperly — try to get before the jury in these cases. These usual suspects include customer complaints, warranty claims and plaintiffs’ post-accident statements concerning the cause of the incident.
