Brian Voke joins a panel discussion that will address the hands-on and practical issues of handling product liability claims. After an initial discussion of the foundation issues of the legal basics of product liability claim, the common causes of action alleged, and the available affirmative defenses, the panel will delve into the key recommended actions and activities to properly evaluate and defend against product liability claims. The critical areas of investigation of the incident and product will underlie the discussion.  Topics covering the experts needed and how the early investigation should proceed will be critical in this discussion.  The panel will also address strategies for early resolution of product liability claims.  Preparing for success starts at the beginning of the claim and the panel will walk through some key aspects of properly evaluating and documenting the investigation, discovery, and preparation for handling of a product liability case and when and how early resolution can be accomplished.
