Summary

The Products Liability & Warranty Litigation Team at Hahn Loeser represents OEMs, distributors, suppliers, product manufacturers, dealer groups, logistics providers, finance companies, and other businesses in complex litigation throughout California and nationwide, in state and federal court, and in arbitration.

We deliver a practical, defense-oriented approach in high-exposure products liability, warranty, consumer protection, class action, and commercial disputes. Our attorneys handle matters involving alleged product defects, consumer warranty actions, fraud and misrepresentation allegations, unfair business practices claims, contract disputes, indemnity issues, and other litigation that threatens our clients’ financial, operational, and reputational interests.

We work closely with in-house counsel, risk managers, technical experts, and industry stakeholders to develop coordinated strategies aligned with each client’s business objectives and risk tolerance.

Automotive & Transportation

Our attorneys routinely defend claims brought under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (MMWA), the Consumers Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), California’s Unfair Competition Law (UCL), and related consumer protection statutes. We also represent clients in matters involving fraud and misrepresentation allegations, contract disputes, indemnity claims, consumer protection issues, and other litigation related to the automotive and transportation industry.

Our attorneys focus on early exposure assessment, targeted discovery, strategic motion practice, and resolution strategies designed to protect our clients’ business interests while limiting litigation risk and cost.

Products Liability & Catastrophic Loss

Hahn Loeser has experience representing a wide range of businesses in products liability litigation involving alleged design defects, manufacturing defects, warning defects, and other product-related claims.

Our practice includes matters involving motor vehicles, component parts, consumer products, battery-powered products, industrial equipment, and other products facing allegations of defect or failure. We have also represented clients in matters involving significant personal injury, wrongful death, and property damage claims arising from alleged product failures.

We work closely with technical experts and industry professionals to evaluate liability, causation, and damages issues to develop practical litigation strategies tailored to the facts and circumstances of each case. From single-plaintiff actions to complex, multi-party disputes, our attorneys focus on early case assessment, disciplined discovery, strategic motion practice, and efficient resolution strategies.

Cross-Disciplinary Class Actions

Hahn Loeser defends businesses in class actions spanning a wide range of warranty, products liability, consumer protection, privacy, and emerging technology-related issues. The firm regularly handles class actions involving alleged product defects, warranty administration and compliance, fraud and misrepresentation theories, CLRA claims, TCPA and data privacy-related claims, artificial intelligence and digital technology issues, along with other complex consumer and commercial disputes.

Our attorneys have experience defending consumer, products liability, and data privacy class actions arising from marketing practices, customer communications, product performance allegations, warranty obligations, and other business operations. We develop practical litigation strategies designed to challenge certification, narrow claims, manage litigation risk, and position matters for efficient resolution.

Many of these matters involve multiple parties, coordinated proceedings, or litigation spanning several jurisdictions. We develop cohesive litigation strategies that address immediate case objectives while remaining aligned with our clients’ broader business and risk-management considerations.

Risk Management & Multidisciplinary Support

Drawing on Hahn Loeser’s multidisciplinary platform, our attorneys regularly collaborate with colleagues across the firm to provide coordinated representation tailored to the needs of each matter.

We also advise clients on contract negotiations, warranty administration, consumer disclosures, dealer and distribution relationships, indemnity structures, compliance obligations, intellectual property considerations, and other issues that may create future litigation exposure.
