Areas of Practice

Automotive Products Liability

Automotive product defects can cause serious injuries or deaths to unsuspecting drivers or passengers. The injuries often result from the failure of safety systems to do their jobs during a crash. Other times the defects themselves cause the impact. These cases are incredibly complex and take years of experience to win. Our attorneys have successfully tried and settled cases across the country involving various automotive product defects, including:

  • Stability and Handling Defects

  • Airbag Failures to Deploy

  • Seatbelt Failures

  • Tire Failures

  • Roof Crush

Other Product Defects:

Automobile defects are not the only cause of catastrophic injuries. Many other products in and around our homes and job sites can have devastating effects on users when used as anticipated by the manufacturer. For example, ATVs and UTVS can cause significant harm because the standards to protect the public have not kept up with the auto industry. Our attorneys have handled cases involving:

  • 3-Wheelers

  • 4-Wheelers

  • UTVs

  • Oil Field Equipment

  • Garbage Truck Lift Gates

  • Gas Can Explosions

  • And Others

Heavy Truck Litigation:

Truck accident cases are incredibly complex, much like automotive product liability cases. Trucking laws vary from the standard rules of the road that the average driver must obey; because of their size and weight, injuries from accidents involving trucks are often catastrophic. Our attorneys have handled numerous trucking accidents over the past 30 years.

Mass Tort Litigation:

Few cases are as complex and detailed as mass tort cases. They often involve multi-district litigation, class action suits, and as a result, numerous plaintiffs and defendants. Mr. Denney's experience as Co-Chair of the Ford/Firestone trial committee and TAC member of the Blitz Bankruptcy arising from a gas can explosion litigation has allowed his unique expertise in handling this type of case. In addition, Denney & Barrett continues to handle cases in the following areas:

  • Commercial Litigation

  • Bank Fraud

  • Oil & Gas Injury Cases

  • Fraudulent Business Practices and Non-Compete Litigation
