In today’s world, there are as many different types of sports as there are personalities and skill levels to match. Each sport has its own set of equipment, enthusiast club, athletic shoe and, unfortunately, lawsuits. When it comes to lawsuits, Bowman and Brooke is your defensive line, your helmet and your baseball bat all rolled into one.
Our attorneys have defended death and catastrophic injury cases for sports equipment manufacturers all over the country. The list of products we’ve defended reads like the inventory at a sporting goods store, including bicycles, helmets, exercise equipment, weightlifting equipment, playground equipment, golf clubs, grips, skis, bindings, skates, basketball hoops, watercraft, ATVs, motorcycles, snowmobiles—the list goes on and on. And these aren’t just products to us. Chances are we use the very equipment we’re called upon to defend.
How do we do it? Hard work and experience. From the initial investigation to the retention and preparation of experts, from deposition to trial, we work closely with our clients to develop and implement a winning strategy. And when it comes time to try the case, we don’t duck. We stay in the game and we play it to win.
As one of the country’s leading providers of defense counsel for warranty, personal injury and wrongful death claims for personal watercraft, all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles and snowmobiles, we are well-prepared and ideal candidates to work for you. We bring that nationally recognized product liability and trial experience to bear on your cases. We know how to explain complicated engineering and manufacturing processes to juries, as well as manage sympathies toward injured plaintiffs.
In addition, our world-recognized experience in product safety and product liability prevention assists manufacturers to anticipate and minimize future product liability risks and to make themselves more defensible if an accident occurs.
At each stage, we can draw on the insights of our trial lawyers to minimize the risk of future claims. We can help you initiate effective compliance programs and employee education programs. We can assist in the development of a product safety policy, and help create a management structure that integrates safety and compliance into product design, manufacture and marketing. We will help develop appropriate purchase order and sales contract terms and conditions, along with legally defensible designs and warnings and instructions. And, if problems arise after the sale of a product, we can advise on the appropriate response; perhaps a recall or retrofit program.
Lastly, we walk the talk. Many of our attorneys are fitness, camping and sports enthusiasts themselves and that insiders view wins cases. We have among our ranks tennis coaches, surfers, current ski bums and former ski instructors, golfers, cyclists, marathon runners, in-line skaters and soccer, hockey and basketball players.
Let us go to bat for you.
