Over the past five years alone, Ross Feller Casey has won more than $1 billion for its individual clients, including numerous multimillion-dollar cases involving defective or dangerous products. It’s a record of success that has established the firm as the preeminent catastrophic injury litigators in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and across the nation.
Founding partner Matt Casey recovered $19.5 million for a truck driver who was paralyzed after a defective crane lifting 3,500 pounds of concrete block broke in two and struck him on the head at a construction site.
Casey also recovered $10 million in a case of a 40-year-old Bucks County, Pennsylvania welder, who was killed when a pressurized tank he was working on exploded. It became one of Pennsylvania's largest ever reported settlements for a product liability case involving a single death.
In another astonishing result, founding partner Joel J. Feller, a leading Philadelphia products liability lawyer, successfully argued that a 10-year-old girl sitting in the rear seat of a truck was paralyzed in a crash because of a defectively designed occupant restraint system. Several days into the trial, the truck maker agreed to settle the Philadelphia product liability suit for $30 million.
Other notable victories by Ross Feller Casey's Philadelphia product liability lawyers include:
- $31 million recovery for paralysis caused by a defective product
- $25 million recovery for a man who was injured as a result of a faulty car
- $19.2 million recovery for a child born with a club foot as a result of an anti-nausea drug
- $10.5 million recovery in Pennsylvania product liability lawsuit for the family of a child killed by a collapsing table
- $8 million recovery for a factory worker injured in a workplace incident
- $8 million recovery for an injured ironworker
- $4 million recovery for a factory worker whose arm was injured in a defective machine
Each year across America, nearly 30 million people are injured by consumer products, and, tragically, 22,000 die from defective products, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Manufacturers are responsible for producing safe products, and when they fail, they may become the subject of product liability claims.

What types of cases do product liability lawyers handle?
When an investigation reveals that unsafe products caused the injury, there may be grounds for a product liability lawsuit. The three main areas of product liability litigation center on manufacturing defects, design flaws, and failures to warn consumers about the dangers of a product.
Manufacturing Defects
This may be the most obvious type of product liability and involves a manufacturer producing a flawed product at the factory. It could be a bicycle with a missing brake, a swing with a cracked chain, or a pharmaceutical drug tainted at the factory.
Design Flaws
In these types of cases, those injured must show that a product’s design was inherently dangerous and defective. Examples of these product liability claims include vehicles prone to flipping over, blow driers and curling irons that cause burns, and air plugs that do not protect against noise leading to hearing loss.
Inadequate Warnings or Instructions
Such failure-to-warn claims typically involve a product that is dangerous in some way that is not obvious or requires the user to exercise certain precautions. Examples include pharmaceutical drugs that do not warn of potentially hazardous side effects if taken with other medicines and corrosive chemicals sold without adequate instructions for safe handling.
