PRODUCTS LIABILITY
The most satisfying part of Scott’s work is when he can right a wrong committed against his client. But he’s also proud that the cases he brings on behalf of his clients demand accountability from companies.
Litigation forces companies to be responsible for the actions they take and the products they offer. This improves the safety of everyone.
Scott believes that people and companies that make mistakes should admit their mistakes and offer to compensate the victims of those errors. True remorse and an effort to make the other side whole is not only the best legal strategy — it’s the right way to handle a bad situation.
A 360-Degree View
Scott has handled several motorcycle cases against some of the world’s largest bike manufacturers when riders have been seriously injured or killed due to mechanical defects, including:
- Harley-Davidson
- Suzuki
- Kawasaki
He also spent a decade helping defend major German and Japanese motorcycle manufacturers when claims were brought against those companies. Scott is skilled at going up against motorcycle companies on behalf of riders because he can anticipate the legal moves the company will take to defend the claim.
Being on both sides of products liability cases allows Scott to see the full picture.
