Investigating a defective product case can be challenging and extremely expensive. By enlisting the help of leading industry experts and even private investigators, we undertake extensive research to understand how the product was designed, manufactured, and marketed, and where things went wrong to cause injuries. This early research may involve tracking down and interviewing former employees and potential “whistleblowers” who will testify against the at-fault manufacturer or retailer. These early fact-gathering efforts are essential to prepare for what is usually a long, hard-fought battle against some of the world’s wealthiest corporations in the world.

Before we ever file a case, we line up the evidence and strategize on a detailed and case-specific litigation plan. Once a lawsuit is filed, our team shapes the narrative of the case from the outset by leading the charge in discovery and taking the depositions of key witnesses.

Our office works hand in hand with the top experts to inspect and re-engineer a product that has caused injuries. We also develop persuasive visuals and animations about the product which clearly and persuasively explains the mechanism of injury to the jury. We spare no expense in taking the necessary steps to prove and win your case.

Insurance companies know that certain law firms get more and more desperate for settlement, the closer they get to trial. Unprepared to take the case the full distance, these firms lose leverage as trial approaches. As a result, their clients do not get full and fair justice for their injuries.

The opposite is true when SHK is on the case. As a trial firm, we hold all the cards as trial draws near. We have done the work. Our experts are retained and ready to testify. We are trial-ready. There is no need – and no pressure – to accept a lowball offer. This gives us the upper hand and leverage to obtain the maximum value prior to trial. If we do settle before trial, we settle for full and fair justice–not discount justice.

The numbers don’t lie: our outstanding jury verdicts have paved a pathway for excellent settlements. And since we are willing to finance a case all the way through trial, you will not have to accept an unfair payout for your injuries.
