Significant Representative Matters

  • Defense verdict in product warranty litigation case. Represented a major motor vehicle manufacturer in a case involving claims of statutory violations. Plaintiff sought a repurchase of motor vehicle and recovery of attorney fees. Defense expert established that vehicle was effectively repaired and suffered no substantial impairment in use, value, or safety.

  • Defense verdict in breach of service contract case. Represented a major motor vehicle manufacturer in a civil action asserting claims under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the Uniform Commercial Code, and the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. Established no liability or recoverable damages by means of effective cross-examination of the plaintiff and direct examination of the defense witnesses.

  • Defense verdict at binding arbitration in fatal motor vehicle accident case. Executrix of decedent plaintiff alleged that the defendant driver of motor vehicle negligently entered roadway and struck the vehicle operated by the plaintiff. Defense witnesses, the investigating police officer, and photographic evidence convinced the arbitrator that the plaintiff ignored a stop sign, causing the defendant driver to be confronted with a sudden emergency.

  • Represented restaurant in premises liability lawsuit involving a fall down resulting from an alleged defective sidewalk. Plaintiff underwent four foot surgeries and multiple injections of the spine. Case settled for $10,000. The initial settlement demand was $500,000. Defense investigation and discovery revealed numerous contradictions and inconsistencies in the plaintiff's version of events, and the physician retained on behalf of client established that most of the plaintiff's required medical treatment resulted from his failure to comply with his physicians' orders to remain non-weight bearing during treatment.

  • Represented major sports and fitness center in personal injury civil action in which the plaintiff underwent three surgeries on his right ankle. Plaintiff fell while playing hockey and claimed that his accident was caused by water accumulation on the floor caused by a leaking roof. Plaintiff's initial settlement demand was in the amount of $1,800,000, and the case settled for $250,000. Defense cast doubt on the plaintiff's deposition testimony through the testimony of other witnesses to the accident. Potential damages were reduced by the expert opinions of defense physician, vocational expert, and economist.
