With more than thirty years of experience in the realm of product liability and toxic torts, Murnane Brandt enjoys a national reputation of excellence in representing clients. Serving as local, regional and national counsel for a number of companies, we are involved in a broad spectrum of product litigation ranging from playground, agriculture, construction and industrial equipment to asbestos. Our lawyers have successfully served as national coordinating counsel in cases involving asbestos, flammable fabrics, dietary supplements and many other products.
Murnane Brandt's litigation philosophy is founded on the importance of early and ongoing case evaluations. The firm strives to identify claims of serious injury as quickly as possible. We work closely with clients to determine which cases should be pressed to trial and which should be resolved quietly. The trademark of our success is that Murnane Brandt lawyers are not afraid to try a lawsuit if necessary. We are fully prepared and have the experience and fortitude to ask a jury to determine the outcome of a case and have success in doing so. This is a distinguishing feature of our lawyers and results in a benefit to our clients. In complex tort litigation, Murnane Brandt typically negotiates vigorously on what are deemed the most dangerous cases in a group, before attempting to bundle as many remaining cases as possible into a broad settlement.
Our lawyers also participate in a series of self-designed litigation programs to further develop the firm's insight into successful approaches during the defense of particular product manufacturers. We provide consultation, risk management assessment, information management and litigation management services. In the process, we develop a clear sense of what works and what doesn't in the defense of a product manufacturer on a national level.
