Products Liability

Germer maintains a premier products liability practice, representing an extensive roster of manufacturers, component part suppliers, and distributors. Our trial attorneys vigorously defend clients in state and federal courts against claims involving a diverse range of products, including automobiles, pharmaceutical products, medical devices, and heavy industrial or farm equipment. While our roots are in Texas, our reach extends across the country, with our attorneys frequently serving as regional counsel in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas, and beyond.

We understand that Texas contains some of the most challenging and unpredictable venues for product manufacturers. Our approach is defined by an early and rigorous evaluation of venue, judicial history, and opposing counsel to develop a customized litigation plan. This strategic foresight allows us to work seamlessly with in-house counsel and litigation managers, ensuring that our defense strategies align with broader corporate objectives and budgetary requirements. We are experienced in implementing alternative billing methods that provide transparency and cost-effectiveness without compromising the quality of the defense.

Beyond individual case wins, Germer serves as a central hub for national defense coordination. Our litigators are frequently retained to select and develop national testifying experts and to craft cohesive defense theories utilized by regional counsel nationwide. This commitment to the industry is underscored by our active participation in the Product Liability Advisory Council (PLAC). By leveraging our deep understanding of the manufacturing sector and our mastery of complex tort litigation, we provide the technical depth and trial experience necessary to protect our clients’ interests in any jurisdiction.
