Products Liability

Smith Sovik defends products liability lawsuits for both large and small, insured and self-insured corporations all over New York State.  In fact, we’ve been defending manufacturers and distributors against lawsuits since the inception of products liability law in the 1960s.  Our experience allows us to take a dynamic, innovative approach to defending our clients, which include manufacturers of cranes, saws, slicers, power tools, ladders, hydraulic and electrical systems, appliances and electrical components.

Smith Sovik is appropriately aggressive in an industry that requires something more than just a run of the mill attitude. More particularly, I was most impressed with your aggressive negotiation style at mediation and then your ability to appropriately modify your approach for the jury during the Paduana trial. In addition, you are well versed in NY Labor Law which is a real plus given the complexity and high damage exposure of construction claims.
