Results That Make A DifferenceLet's face it. We're all in this for results. Maximum recoveries, in the minimum amount of time, and at the minimum cost. That is what we do. Here are only a few of the notable results we have achieved for our clients: ° Avoided the Statute of Repose in a $4 million case by persuading the Court that the defendants' building code violations stripped them of statutory protection. ° Won a jury verdict in Pennsylvania in a multimillion dollar case where we proved that the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion of rags soaked with linseed oil. ° Won a seven-figure settlement in an Ohio gas explosion case against a gas utility company for not properly protecting a gas regulator from impact damage. ° Reached an eight-figure settlement in a case arising from the collapse of a pre-engineered metal building under the weight of ice and snow. ° First to identify design defect in an entire line of electric baseboard heaters, which were later recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. ° Elicited admission from a product designer that his design was faulty and could cause the fire in the way we claimed. ° Elicited admission on the record from an electrical engineering Ph.D. that in his expert report, he misapplied a crucial provision of the National Electric Code. ° Persuaded courts to preclude defense experts from testifying because they did not meet the Daubert standards. |
