Personal Injury Litigation / General Liability

Our personal injury litigation/general liability practice group attorneys are well-regarded for their experience, skill and innovation in defending national corporations in product liability, negligence and mass tort actions. We also represent manufacturers, distributors and retailers against claims based on negligence, strict product liability and breach of warranty. Over the years, our attorneys have successfully resolved cases for numerous industries, including those involving construction vehicles and equipment, appliances, asbestos, benzene, automobiles, consumer and industrial chemicals, forklifts, helicopters, jet engines, industrial machinery, marine products and operations, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, over-the-road vehicles, and landfill operations.

We are especially honored to have our clients recognize our attorneys’ skill and expertise by naming us their primary counsel in areas outside Missouri. Currently, we serve as National Coordinating Counsel for Engine Litigation and Regional Trial Counsel for Caterpillar Inc., the nation’s largest manufacturer of construction machinery. Also, on behalf of Waste Management, Inc., the country’s major handler of commercial and private waste, we serve as National Counsel for railroad litigation and Regional Counsel for general litigation. We are also listed among the top three litigation firms for Anheuser Busch InBev.

Our personal injury litigation/general liability practice group attorneys have been recognized for their expertise in developing successful factual and legal defenses and in handling the complex scientific and technical issues that often arise in these cases. Because of this recognized expertise, we are frequently called upon to take over the defense of matters pending in other jurisdictions where complex legal and factual issues have arisen.
