"An
excellent comprehensive guide for the products liability practitioner...a
must for every litigator's law library."
Richard J. Phelan; Past President of the Cook County Board
of Commissioners, Chicago
Product
Liability analyzes both the theories and the practice of
products liability litigation, whether the issue is asbestos,
automobiles, food, drugs, chemicals, household products, or any
of the hundreds of other products that may be the subject of litigation.
Attorneys
for both plaintiffs and defendants will find comprehensive coverage
of such matters as advantages and disadvantages of suits based
on strict liability, negligence and breach of warranty; duty to
warn and its innumerable ramifications; liability of the manufacturer,
retailer and other potential defendants in the distribution chain;
successor liability; federal preemption of common law claims;
monitoring product safety during design, manufacturing and distribution;
market share liability and liability for concerted action; product
misuse and alteration; elements of proof needed in the action;
recovery for economic loss; punitive damages; the government contractor
defense; and duty-to-warn cases.
Product
Liability also features discussions on pre-trial and
trial practice, including developing strategies for "the
trial or settlement of a case, jury selection, the opening statement,
direct and cross-examination of witnesses, documentary and demonstrative
evidence, summation, and jury instructions.
