Praise for Defective Product: Evidence to Verdict:
"To win for their clients and to force corporate change, trial lawyers need a battle plan, and Defective Product: Evidence to Verdict is it. This book is a step-by-step "how to" manual for pursuing the arduous, demanding, and often frustrating process of litigating against corporate wrongdoers companies which, because of profit-driven greed, criminal coverup or simple indifference, have placed unsafe products in the environment and then turned their backs on the severely injurious or fatal consequences.
In this book the authors - themselves highly experienced and effective product-liability trial lawyers provide a thorough, practical road map for attaining that expertise. Whether new to the product litigation arena or already seasoned participants, attorney readers will find in Evidence to Verdict a wealth of experience, example, and good sense to guide them through the thickets and around the snares of any product liability lawsuit.
How has applicable product liability law evolved? How should a potential case be evaluated? What strategies of discovery will lead most incisively to revealing the manufacturer's wrongdoing? How can computers and computer databases be used? How can a lawyer use patents, not only to demonstrate state of the art, but also as a basis from which to examine defendants on the proper standard of care to be applied?
These are just a few of the areas covered in Defective Product: Evidence to Verdict. The attorney who chooses to enter the product-liability lists against an errant manufacturer will want to keep this book close at hand throughout the battle. It will prove to be an invaluable, no-nonsense companion."
