Saltz Mongeluzzi Barrett & Bendesky: 22 Victims of Sig Sauer P320 Across 16 States File New Lawsuits In Federal Court Against The Gunmaker Alleging Its Pistol Is Dangerously Defective

CONCORD, N.H., March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- There is no end in sight to the wave of litigation spurred by gunmaker Sig Sauer's dangerously defective P320 pistol. Attorneys from Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky yesterday filed the latest negligence and product liability lawsuit (B. Anderson v. Sig Sauer, USDC, New Hampshire,No.1:22-cv-00536-JL) against the company on behalf of 22 of the gun's users - more than half members of law enforcement - whose P320s unintentionally fired. The plaintiffs hail from 16 states and are among over 100 individuals represented by the Firm who have been injured - including one who died -by the New Hampshire-based firearms manufacturer's product.Over nearly 150 pages, the complaint chronicles the dangerous and deadly history of the P320 dating back nearly one decade. It states, "Sig Sauer has been aware of claims that P320 unintended discharges have killed users," adding that "the vast majority of these users are law enforcement officers, former military personnel, and/or highly trained and practiced gun owners." Many of the plaintiffs in the filing, the fourth mass action complaint related to the P320, are current or former firearms instructors.Saltz Mongeluzzi Bendesky attorney Robert Zimmerman, lead counsel in the litigation, stated "This is the latest filing, but unfortunately far from the last. We allege based upon documentary evidence that Sig knowingly designed and manufactured America's most dangerously-defective firearm, making it prone to uncommanded firing. Sig refuses to do what's right - take responsibility and once and for all make its deadly product as safe as the guns produced by its competitors." He added, "This filing highlights that Sig Sauer's latest P320 PR campaign is nothing more than an attempt to distract from a problem that is now 10 years in the making. Law enforcement departments have discontinued their use of this dangerous gun. User-victims are being shot by P320s when their hands aren't even on the gun. ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
