Jury awards in the tens of millions are no longer unusual making it increasingly attractive for individuals and groups to make claims against manufacturers of all types of products. When faced with the possibility of such onerous penalties, it is critical to retain litigators who are aggressive and relentless in defending the integrity of your products.

We are thoroughly familiar with cutting edge issues in product liability litigation such as consumer warnings and instructions, issues involving mechanical, chemical or electrical design or manufacture, metallurgy, hydraulics, vehicle dynamics, handling and stability, occupant kinematics, anthropometrics, and biomechanics. In addition, the attorneys are regularly involved with most areas of medical practice and public health, including orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, internal medicine, pathology, toxicology, epidemiology and others. Campbell Trial Lawyers defends epidemiology, toxicology, kinematics and injury mechanisms, stability of four wheel drive vehicles, and rollover protection in industrial equipment, among others.
The firm presently acts as regional trial counsel in the northeast for major institutional clients in cases involving passenger vehicles and materials handling equipment, and as national trial counsel for other product liability clients. Recently Campbell Trial Lawyers achieved a significant win for the defense in the first motor vehicle case to go to trial where the claimed defect was the vehicle’s lack of an electronic stability control system.
