Automotive

Our litigators represent and defend clients with auto-related cases, many involving claims of defect resulting in catastrophic injury or wrongful death. We’ve represented domestic and foreign tire and auto manufacturers in product liability, personal injury, product performance, fire claims, and asbestos cases.

Corporations, individuals, insurance companies, third-party administrators, self-insured entities, and rental companies are examples of those involved in such cases.

International original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), insurers, and other leaders in the automotive industry turn to Moran Reeves Conn litigators for matters related to crashworthiness, rollover/roof crush, and side impact crashes.

Our clients include manufacturers of chassis/transmission systems, tires/wheels, driver assistance and advanced autonomous systems, as well as restrain systems, including passive seat belts, air bags, partial latching, inertial unlatching, and rear seat shoulder belts. Traditional products cases are much of our work, but we also handle related class actions, warranty claims, and subrogation matters.

Our experienced automotive defense attorneys are complemented by experts in engineering, physics, forensics, economic loss, and the science of medicine. As in all cases surrounding products liability, we offer strategic counsel about regulatory compliance, mitigation, and the avoidance of future claims.
