Significant seven-figure award

Three young children from Monroeville, Pennsylvania, died in a Christmas Eve fire. Local investigators concluded that the fire appeared to have started in a corner of the living room. With the assistance of fire consultants, electrical engineers and metallurgists from around the country, we were able to determine that the fire started in a television set located in that part of the house. We filed a defective product claim against the manufacturer of the TV on the ground that its circuit system was defective and was prone to create “hot spots” that could lead to a fire. After extensive litigation, we received a significant seven-figure award on behalf of the parents of these children.
