We also defend disputes involving warranties and insurance coverage when the client is a party. In that regard, we’ve received favorable decisions in motion practice on the scope of the Louisiana Products Liability Act, as well as dispositive motions regarding the viability of claims.

Beyond litigation, our attorneys are called upon to offer risk management advice, client education on good practices, and in the development of policies and procedures on record keeping, design and re-design of products, and protocols to help minimize exposure to loss and/or prevent future claims.
