Product Liability and Catastrophic Injury Lawyer for Complex, High-Stakes Cases
Alex Gillen represents individuals and families in complex product liability, commercial vehicle, and catastrophic injury cases. For more than 20 years, he has handled technical, expert-heavy litigation involving defective products, automotive defects, tire failures, crashworthiness issues, commercial vehicle crashes, burn injuries, paralysis, and wrongful death.
His practice is built for cases that require detailed investigation, careful evidence preservation, expert analysis, and the ability to understand how and why a product, vehicle, or company safety system failed. These are not ordinary injury claims. They often involve manufacturers, corporations, insurers, engineers, medical experts, and defense teams prepared to contest every issue.
With experience handling serious cases across Florida and around the country, Alex brings the judgment, preparation, and technical understanding needed to evaluate complex claims and pursue meaningful results for people facing life-changing injuries.
Extensive Product Liability Experience
Product liability cases require more than general personal injury experience. They often involve technical failure analysis, engineering questions, corporate safety decisions, expert testimony, and aggressive defense teams.
Alex Gillen has spent more than 20 years handling complex product defect cases involving automotive defects, tire failures, crashworthiness issues, seatbacks, airbags, roof crush, vehicle fires, fuel systems, motorcycles, personal watercraft, and consumer products.
These cases require early evidence preservation, careful product inspection, and the ability to identify how a product failed, why it failed, and whether that failure caused or worsened a catastrophic injury.
When you go through something that traumatic, you need more than just someone who understands the law. You need someone who listens, who cares, and who understands that your case is really about your life, your future, and everything that has changed.

Why Alex Gillen Law
A Firm Built for Technical, High-Stakes Injury Cases
Product liability, commercial vehicle, and catastrophic injury cases are different from ordinary personal injury claims. They often involve technical evidence, engineering analysis, corporate records, regulatory issues, expert analysis and testimony, defendants with the resources to fight liability at every stage, and long-term damages that must be carefully investigated, documented, and proven.
Technical Evidence
These cases often involve engineering analysis, product design issues, regulatory standards, corporate records, medical evidence, and expert testimony. Proving the case usually requires showing not just that someone was seriously injured, but how the product, vehicle, company, or safety system failed.
Early Evidence Preservation
Early investigation is critical. In product defect cases, the product itself may need to be preserved and inspected. In commercial vehicle cases, electronic logging data, black box data, dash camera footage, maintenance records, dispatch communications, and corporate safety policies can disappear quickly if action is not taken right away.
Long-Term Damages
These cases require a full understanding of the long-term harm involved. Paralysis, spinal cord injuries, burn injuries, and wrongful death claims often involve lifetime medical needs, future care planning, lost earning capacity, pain, suffering, and major quality-of-life changes. The value of the case depends on proving not only what happened, but how it will affect the client and family for years to come.
Alex, we can never thank you enough for the professional and personal care you’ve shown our family over the years.
We can’t imagine how difficult this journey would have been for our family without you in our corner. We are so grateful for your continued efforts going above and beyond to ensure our family has been taken care of.
You are forever in our thoughts Alex, because of your honesty and compassion.
