Nashville Product Liability Lawyer
Protecting Consumers Harmed by Dangerous Drugs and Medical Devices
Every year, thousands of people in Tennessee and across the country are seriously harmed by defective products—especially dangerous pharmaceuticals and faulty medical devices. DRS Law’s Nashville product liability lawyers focus on helping those injured by drug recalls, medical device failures, and other unsafe products. With decades of experience and a multi-state reach, our firm guides clients through both individual lawsuits and national mass torts.
What Is Product Liability?
Product liability means holding a manufacturer, distributor, or seller responsible when a defective product causes injury. The law recognizes three main types of claims:
Manufacturing Defect
The product was made incorrectly (e.g., a contaminated drug batch).
Design Defect
The product is inherently unsafe even when made as intended (e.g., a device prone to breakage).
Failure to Warn
The maker failed to provide adequate instructions or warn of known risks.
Most product liability cases involve consumer products, but our firm primarily focuses on dangerous drugs and defective medical devices.

Individual Lawsuit or Mass Tort? DRS Law Guides You
Defective drug and device cases can proceed as individual claims or as part of multi-district litigation (MDL) or class actions. Our attorneys evaluate each client’s situation to determine the best route—whether to join a national mass tort, file individually, or both. We keep clients updated on deadlines and developments in national litigation.
How Is Product Liability Different From Medical Malpractice?
Not sure if your case is medical malpractice or a product liability issue? DRS Law can handle both. If you were harmed by a defective device implanted by a doctor, you may have claims against both the manufacturer and the medical provider. We’ll assess every angle to maximize your recovery.
Catastrophic Injuries From Defective Products
Some drug and device failures cause life-altering harm: organ failure, amputation, cancer, or even wrongful death. DRS Law brings experience in high-stakes cases and works with medical and engineering experts to prove both the defect and the full extent of damages.
Multi-State Representation for Product Claims
Product liability cases often end up in federal court, involving plaintiffs from many states. DRS Law is licensed in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia, and participates in national product liability litigation. We can represent clients locally or help join MDLs nationwide.
