Product liability and mass tort claims can present many challenges for companies, and oftentimes lead to litigation. For both domestic and international clients, our team of product liability litigators defends our clients across jurisdictions and creates custom strategies that meet their needs.
Tarter Krinsky & Drogin’s Product Liability & Mass Torts Practice advises clients on a wide range of challenges, from compliance counseling to litigation and alternative dispute resolution. Our team has decades of experience navigating the complexities of multi-jurisdictional product liability and mass tort claims for domestic and international clients.

Notably, we have managed tens of thousands of mass tort cases and played a lead role in the World Trade Center litigation, in which we represented the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as well as the World Trade Center Properties Defendants (the lessees of the World Trade Center towers and other buildings in the complex). This latter body of litigation involved thousands of lawsuits for wrongful death and personal injury, and claims for property damage and business interruption that resulted from the attacks of 9/11.
A major part of our Product Liability & Mass Torts Practice has involved the defense of more than 100,000 personal injury cases arising from alleged exposure to asbestos. We have served as national counsel for several defendants and were selected to serve as members of the National Trial Lawyers teams for many companies. We also represent major corporate defendants in property damage cases seeking recovery of billions of dollars for the cost of abating or removing asbestos-containing products from thousands of buildings.
Our team is well-known for our vast legal knowledge on the scientific, including medical and mineralogy, issues in asbestos litigation. We have argued legal theories before state and federal courts that have created new product liability laws and precedent in many cases.
With our years of experience in the product liability and mass tort fields, our attorneys have forged connections with a network of preeminent medical, technical, and engineering experts whom we draw upon to assist us in defending our clients.
