Products Liability

Product liability cases are among the most complicated of any kind of litigation. Given the complexities and expense of these cases, the proverbial deck is always stacked against the plaintiffs. Compounding the difficulty of these types of cases are the defendants . . . large corporations and their insurance companies who devote tremendous resources to the aggressive defense of product liability cases.

"Frustrated with what we learned defending product manufacturers in product liability cases, we decided to switch sides and use our experience and skill to represent people and families victimized by unreasonably dangerous or defective products."

At Douthit Frets Rouse Gentile & Rhodes LLC, our lawyers represent families and individuals who have been hurt by all types of defective products. We maintain a nationwide product liability practice working to help these people seek justice and recover fair compensation for their losses. Although the list is potentially endless, specific examples of some of the defective products involved in our practice include:

• Dangerous and defective motor vehicles
• Defective child safety seats

• Dangerous hot water heaters
• Defective household appliances
• Defective manufacturing and industrial equipment
