When product liability becomes an element in an automotive liability matter—such as brakes, airbags, child car seats, or seat belts—the Product Liability practice group at DLD Lawyers is ready the respond. The firm’s automotive product liability experience covers the spectrum from routine general liability claims to complex multi-party, multi-million dollar catastrophic injury claims.
Accidents involving trucks and inland marine transportation policies are also handled by DLD Lawyers. Given the severity of claims often involved in a trucking accident, members of the firm act firmly yet with sensitivity when defending carriers against bodily injury, property damage and wrongful death claims.
The firm maintains a roster of court-approved experts in the areas of safety, engineering, medical care, and economics in support of the insured’s defense, when needed.
Given the cosmopolitan nature of the Miami-Dade market, motor vehicle accidents often involve drivers and passengers from across South America, the Caribbean and other parts of the world. DLD Lawyers brings a diversity of language and cultures to better understand and represent international clients.
Partners Pete DeMahy and Orlando Cabeza are co-chairs of the Auto Liability practice group.
