We took on the flooring industry and did battle with such corporations as 3M and Johnson and Johnson. When our client suffered a severe brain injury as a result of the floor creating an unreasonably slippery surface, we used generally accepted engineering and industry standards to establish that products made by the flooring industry were hazardous to the public. When the flooring industry attempted to use its influence and monies to change ASTM standards in an attempt to defeat our lawsuit, we took on the industry, as well as ASTM. After evidentiary hearings and our obtaining affidavits from engineers and forensic experts throughout the country, we prevailed by not only obtaining a multi-million dollar resolution for the client, but also assuring that others who were injured can hold the flooring industry to the necessary industry standards.
