Engineering Analysis for Product Liability Litigation

January 16, 2026

Product liability litigation arises from allegations that a product is defective in its design, manufacturing, or marketing. These claims can involve a wide range of consumer, industrial, and commercial products. In many cases, the outcome of litigation depends on a clear, technically sound understanding of how a product was designed, how it was manufactured, and how it performed in real-world use.
