When Products Kill: Litigation & Regulatory Responses
James T. O’Reilly and Thomas G. Neltner Fatal accidents often lead to litigation, and attorneys involved in this type of litigation, in order to succeed in representing their clients, need to understand what information is available about the product associated with the death and what the product regulatory agency does or could do about the allegations that the product has caused a death. This book is for the attorney who represents either a client who is a victim of a product-related accident or a manufacturer. Part I reviews the basics of product liability law, and how they relate to a potential lawsuit involving a fatality. Part II provides guidance to key federal agencies and their regulatory and nonregulatory programs responsible for preventing specific types of accidents. Part III provides strategies for pursuing or defending a case. Topics covered include: • Assessing the case • Responsible parties and jurisdiction • Settling a fatal accident case • Motor vehicle deaths • Recreational aircraft and vessel deaths • Food-related deaths • Prescription drug-related deaths • Medical device-related deaths • Pesticide-related deaths • Strategies for success
