Our legal experts will work with you to determine who should be held responsible for putting a defective product in a consumer’s hands. In some cases, the manufacturer or the wholesaler will be held responsible. In other cases, each seller along the chain of distribution, including the manufacturer, will be pursued.
The firm of William E. Gast specializes in the incredibly challenging field of Defective Product Litigation, a highly specialized and immensely challenging field of law that few law firms are willing to engage. At Gast, we tackled the problem so effectively that in September 1985, the General Motors Corporation entered into what was the largest settlement ever awarded to a single injured Plaintiff in Nebraska. The plaintiff, an Omaha teenager, launched a $130 million lawsuit after the fuel tank of his 1967 Camaro fell from the car, causing third degree burns to 55 per cent of his body. The suit, filed on Michael Nelson’s behalf, claimed General Motors could have used alternative designs that would have protected the Camaro’s gas tank and prevented Nelson’s injuries.
Attorneys at Gast have tried and won cases in the State and Federal Courts of Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado and South Dakota. Explore our website at www.gastlawfirm.com for more information on our firm and our roster of talented Nebraska attorneys.
