For 50 years, Stan has helped personal injury victims and their families in product liability and wrongful death litigation against consumer- and commercial-product manufacturers involving defectively designed and manufactured products, failure to warn, breach of warranty, negligent and intentional misrepresentation, and regulatory rule violations. His nationwide practice emphasizes gas explosions resulting from unsafe gas appliances and gas suppliers’ unsafe gas-delivery practices. His practice also involves commercial trucking accidents, including punitive damage claims resulting from violation of Department of Transportation hours-of-service regulations; auto accident litigation; and premises liability claims. He has been lead counsel in product liability and wrongful death cases in Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. His appellate practice has created new claims for consumers, and he routinely lectures and writes on trial skills and trial technique.
