The attorneys at Rousseau & Ross recognize that each product liability case is intricate and unique, and they are committed to assessing, planning, and executing a legal strategy aimed at securing the compensation clients need to move forward.
Rousseau & Ross’s product liability team, serving New Hampshire and Vermont, has extensive experience representing clients across all four primary categories of product liability:
- Negligence
- Strict Liability
- Breach of Warranty
- Misrepresentation
When manufacturers or sellers make false claims about a product’s safety or fail to uphold guarantees or warranties, the firm’s attorneys have the knowledge and courtroom experience required to prove such breaches.
Given the complexity of defective product cases, product liability claims can be challenging to substantiate. Manufacturers and other responsible parties often take aggressive steps to discredit these claims in order to avoid exposure to significant liability. Rousseau & Ross is equipped to confront these tactics and advocate forcefully on behalf of injured consumers.
Rousseau & Ross, PLLC is a leading civil-litigation and personal-injury law firm based in Lebanon, New Hampshire. The firm serves clients in New Hampshire and Vermont, providing individualized legal representation for people who have suffered injury or other harm due to negligence.
The firm handles a broad range of personal injury and civil-litigation matters, including vehicle accidents, slip-and-fall / premises liability, serious injuries or death, product liability, workers’ compensation, medical malpractice, and animal-related injuries. Rousseau & Ross emphasizes a personalized, detail-oriented approach: rather than using a one-size-fits-all strategy, the firm commits to carefully reviewing the specific facts, circumstances, and evidence of each case to maximize compensation and ensure the client’s needs — especially medical care — are met.
Over the years, Rousseau & Ross has built a reputation as a tenacious advocate for injured clients.
