Product liability litigation is one of the most competitive sectors. New technology, embedded technology, global supply chain issues, and increasing regulation, are causing more product liability cases. Despite the focus on increased due diligence, legal decision makers have not been able to contain the increase in these cases. The number of companies facing product liability cases jumped from nearly 42% last year to 45% in 2016.
