Product Liability
Discovery Structured for Complex Litigation
SMI Aware supports product liability litigation teams with disciplined social media and online discovery designed to assess credibility, evaluate claims, and manage exposure whether handling a single claimant or thousands.
Product liability matters range from individual injury claims to large coordinated proceedings involving complex timelines and heightened scrutiny around representations and damages. Online activity may be relevant at any scale, but only when reviewed consistently and documented with evidentiary discipline.
Since 2011, SMI Aware has supported high-stakes litigation nationwide, from individual pre-suit evaluations to high-volume mass tort programs,requiring precision, repeatability, and proportionality.
