Personal Injury
We have the ability to handle virtually any matter involving serious personal injury. Our attorneys have defended many negligence and gross-negligence lawsuits involving fatalities, including several electric contact and gas-explosion cases, and motor carrier and rail accidents. We have also defended clients accused of injuring individuals through environmental contamination, the manufacture of inadequate protective gear, unsafe work practices, and deficient premises maintenance. We are frequently requested to represent clients in catastrophic accidents involving motor carrier and rail transportation incidents.
Frequently, personal injury claims come in the form of a product liability claim. When such claims are made, much is at stake — including the safety of product users, the success of your products, and the reputation of your company. We understand that the products you make mean a lot to you. They are more than simple things — they have the power to solve problems, spur the economy, and grow your business. We take our role as your advocates seriously, and have deep experience representing manufacturers, distributors, and other companies in product liability cases. We are committed to protecting your interests throughout the claims and litigation process. We have represented industrial clients in a wide range of product claims, including:
- Electrical switches
- Distribution products
- Power tools
- Agricultural equipment
- Aerial lift equipment
- Welding products
Our experience also comprises consumer product liability, including:
- Personal care items
- Pharmaceuticals
- Motor vehicles
We will work with you to evaluate the costs and benefits of various scenarios, including pursuing a legal defense, engaging in mediation, establishing appropriate reserves for damage mitigation, or trying the case. Using creative strategies and thoughtful analysis, we will recommend and implement a course of action intended to best serve your interest in defending against liability claims.
