Foulston Siefkin lawyers have represented manufacturers from all over the nation in product liability claims. From asbestos to electronic devices to tires and wheels and pharmaceutical products, Foulston Siefkin lawyers have been involved in all aspects of the often complex world of product litigation. We understand the necessity of litigation coordination for world-wide distributors, the sensitivity of document production issues and the need for retention and development of the highest quality experts.

As the largest Kansas law firm, Foulston Siefkin is able to draw on a multitude of resources to aid in product liability suits. Nearly 30 years of experience in product liability law gives our attorneys a distinct advantage and a background of helpful resources, knowledge, and experience. Our attorneys are trained to aggressively investigate and defend product liability claims, while working closely with the manufacturer or seller to coordinate a nationwide defense strategy that may include anything from early settlement discussions to trial.

Product cases often become document intensive wars with the need for exceptional management capabilities.
