Insurance Defense

We handle insurance defense cases involving auto accident defense (also known as casualty defense), premises liability defense, homeowner’s insurance defense, title insurance defense, personal injury lawsuit defense, and workers' compensation. We have also litigated cases involving bad faith disputes, overcharging, fraud, mediation or arbitration, and medical bill disputes for both first party and third party claims. Whether it is you or your insured that is being sued, we offer solid representation, keeping you informed every step of the way. Contact Bryant Barnes Beckstedt & Blair, LLP to discuss your situation with a lawyer.

Product Liability Defense

The path from idea to product is filled with obstacles. Overcoming all that adversity just to be sued for allegedly unsafe products is a nightmare of frustration. Our defective product defense lawyers understand the thought, preparation and planning that goes into making a product for the general public.

Our attorneys have handled products liability cases involving allegations of

• Design Defects. If a plaintiff alleges that something is wrong with the way a product is designed, it falls under this category.
• Manufacturing Defects. This allegation states that, although there was nothing wrong with the design, something happened from the design to the retail shelf that made the product unsafe.
• Inadequate Warnings. This allegation indicates that there was either an insufficient warning or no warning on a dangerous product.

Whether it's a machine meant for a specific industry or a sports injury product for general consumers, any product can result in a lawsuit if it's used by the wrong person. If you are facing a products liability lawsuit, call us for a consultation.

Employment Law

Our attorneys assist employers with every potential legal issue that might arise in the workplace. We work closely with clients to create and implement policies regarding:

• Dispute resolution programs/arbitration agreements
• Pre-employment interviewing and screening
• Sexual harassment training and investigations
• EEOC training and Title VII requirements
• Employee handbooks and contracts
• Employee discipline

Sound employment policies and procedures, enforced consistently, can make a world of difference in employee relations, thus preventing costly litigation. Sometimes though, litigation happens despite an employer's best efforts to avoid it. When it does, we aggressively defend our clients' interests. We handle lawsuits involving national origin, religious, racial, age and gender discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes and breach of employment contracts. Additionally we represent employers in EEOC and Department of Labor proceedings as well as arbitration hearings.

Other

We create and review contracts of every sort, including vendor, third party and partnership agreements. We also conduct and review real estate transactions.

Should any disputes arise, we are there for our clients. We can work with the opposition to come to a settlement, or take the matter to trial if necessary.
