Product Liability

Overview

Recent reports indicate that the global volume of product liability cases is increasing in volume and in dollar value of claims. Economists and health economists have developed analytic tools that can productively be applied in product liability cases. These include advanced regression techniques to assess liability and advanced statistical methods to calculate attributable risks, fractions, and costs. These techniques can be used to assess liability, to develop cost ceiling models, and to develop simulation models. In addition, our advanced capabilities in data science, epidemiology, and biostatistics can help quantify complex issues in product liability.
