Automotive product and tire defect lawsuits are complex by nature and require deep knowledge of design, engineering and manufacturing processes that go into manufacturing modern steel-belted tires, as well as an ability to effectively communicate this information to judges and juries.
From groundbreaking legal work in Bridgestone/Firestone tire defect litigation, to continued success in product liability litigation around the country, few, if any, law firms in the U.S. have handled more tire defect claims against tire makers and automotive manufacturers.
We have successfully represented clients in countless cases against all major tire manufacturers, including Bridgestone, Firestone, Cooper Tire, Uniroyal, Goodyear, Michelin, BF Goodrich, Hankook, Sumitomo and General Tire. We have taken litigation against automakers all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and prevailed.
Our trial preparation begins before each case is even filed. Whether we go to trial or reach a settlement, clients can trust that everything is done to maximize the value of their claim. That preparation, tenacity and willingness to fight in court has helped us secure substantial recoveries in verdicts and settlements for those seriously hurt or killed by reckless and negligent tire companies, repair facilities, automakers and related businesses.
Experience makes a difference. These cases demand superior knowledge of the engineering and structural elements found in modern tires and automotive products. Armed with that knowledge, we’re able to prove to judges and juries exactly how manufacturing and designtire defects contribute to accidents on our roads.
