Dickinson Wright has a proud history of successfully litigating class action suits on behalf of its clients, whether defendants or plaintiffs. Dickinson Wright has argued on behalf of major industrial powers, such as Ford Motor Co., in defense of a class action suit moved against the company. Our 240-plus attorneys have a proven track record of success in product liability litigation not only in the jurisdiction of state courts of Michigan, but in federal jurisdictions and throughout the United States.
Additionally, our experience as national discovery counsel managing the discovery process gives us unique insights into effective litigation techniques. We are a standout law firm within the state of Michigan, practicing in over forty practice areas. Rely on Dickinson Wright’s experience dealing with product liability litigation—it means that we are sensitive to the business aspects of litigation, without ever taking our eye off the big picture.
We respect, understand, and empathize with the needs of our clients as they go through the vexing process of being a defendant in major class action lawsuits while simultaneously managing concerns in the commercial arena. Our experience assures that the damages will be minimal, and that the tort or mass tort litigation will be dealt with swiftly, professionally, and creatively. For our defendants, we will make sure that the award is minimized for the claimant; if any damages are awarded at all. Some of the exemplary areas of our defense include:
- Chemicals
- Consumer goods and household products
- Corporate equipment
- Drugs and medical devices
- Farm, lawn, snow removal, and forestry equipment
- Industrial equipment.
A number of our litigators who practice product liability, which includes countless class-action defenses, have been recognized by Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers.
Our expertise, however, extends far beyond the realm of product liability and isn’t limited to defense specialization. As a plaintiff, your harm is important to us. Allow our trial specialists to nimbly and dexterously navigate the complicated world of litigation.
