Personal Injury Litigation

Known today by the names of these three innovative litigators, Shook, Hardy & Bacon, L.L.P. (SHB) has established itself as a premier firm in the most challenging legal arenas. SHB counsel now offers world-class expertise that covers personal injury litigation, class actions and complex litigation; arbitration and dispute resolution; electronic discovery and document management; and corporate transactions. Upholding the founders’ commitment to legal excellence, we continue to invoke the core values of our founders while looking ahead to the next generation of SHB attorneys.

SHB’s tort and personal injury litigation expertise encompasses all aspects of litigation in state and federal courts across the country. With the ability to transfer legal strategy, skills and resources to matters in any venue, our attorneys possess a great deal of experience that extends from pretrial discovery through motion practice, trial and – when necessary – appeal. We have represented clients successfully in personal injury litigation focusing on product liability claims; environmental toxic torts; workplace toxic exposure; hazardous chemical transport issues; automotive industry matters; commercial carrier matters; airline crash claims; defense of professional malpractice claims; defense of wrongful death claims; RICO, fraud and intentional torts; and premises liability.

For more than 50 years, the SHB Tort Practice has successfully managed, directed and tried high-stakes litigation cases, many of which contain claims of personal injury. Litigation can sometimes be avoided. In fact, SHB tort lawyers frequently advise companies on liability issues before a suit is filed to limit the risk of future exposure. These attorneys work closely with in-house counsel to anticipate legal sea-changes and ensure compliance with evolving state, national and international regulations.

The SHB Tort Practice also handles the day-to-day case management essential to developing strong defense strategies and themes. To this end, SHB has developed data, computer and information systems that make the firm ideally suited to defend both individual claims and mass torts such as class actions and multidistrict litigation. SHB trial teams excel at harnessing these diverse skill sets to provide clients with advanced and cost-effective legal services. During that time, the firm has played a lead defense and trial counsel role in some of the largest and most substantial national and international mass tort lawsuits.
