Wilson Elser enjoys deep experience in the defense of product liability cases involving all types of motorized vehicles. These include automobiles, motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, boats, personal watercraft, outboard engines, all-terrain vehicles, off-road agricultural equipment, forklifts and other industrial equipment, as well as the full spectrum of component parts manufactured for the industry. 

We go beyond our contracted services to clients in the United States and Asia through our active membership in the Product Liability Advisory Council (PLAC), a nonprofit association of corporate members and private practice attorneys who specialize in the defense of product liability suits against corporate manufacturers. The PLAC files briefs as amicus curiae in state and federal courts to present the perspective of product manufacturers and seek balance in the application and development of the law as it affects product liability. 

In this age of specialization, legal counsel and representation is no place for generalists. That’s why Wilson Elser’s product liability attorneys work closely with other practice areas in the firm to ensure delivery of the best defense, current thinking on risk management and the latest technology from e-discovery to scientific evaluations by respected experts. The Wilson Elser attorney who represents an organization is continually on alert for red flags, the latest trends and the next big idea, and will ensure our clients have the right resources and counsel needed to advance their legal and broader business objectives.
