In significant, complex cases, we are trusted advisors to our clients in matters ranging from pre-litigation strategy to the decision of when to try cases, and how. And clients count on our attorneys to try—and win—their most important disputes.
We represent clients in actions pending in Indiana state trial courts, before the Indiana Court of Appeals and the Indiana Supreme Court, in federal District Courts all over the United States, and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.
Insurance Defense
Our attorneys provide a full spectrum of legal services to insurance carriers, including the defense of claims in the areas of products liability, environmental and toxic substance law, officers’ and directors’ liability, worker’s compensation claims, and general personal injury and property damage claims, including catastrophic claims arising out of construction site accidents. Our attorneys also defend professional negligence and malpractice claims asserted against accountants, attorneys, insurance agents, real estate brokers, physicians, dentists, hospitals and other health care professionals.
Arbitration / Mediation / Alternative Dispute
For new clients who are dealing with their first litigation lawsuit, the complexity can be overwhelming and exhaustive. Along with costly fees, finding a win-win situation for every party involved is not an easy task.
Hiring an attorney who specializes in alternative dispute resolution is the best way to go. For some cases, it is impossible to avoid going to trial but our lawyers are extremely effective at using mediation, arbitration and other ADR methods to neutralize emotions and solve disputes as quickly as possible.
ADR offers greater control over the process and the result. From setting the ground rules, to selecting the mediator, ADR not only offers more flexibility and can be faster and less expensive than court proceedings, but it can eliminate the “win-lose” mentality that is often present in court proceedings. Our lawyers are experienced in both mediation and arbitration. They will consult with you to determine which one will best meet your needs.
Product Liability
Our lawyers have fought for product liability in both the federal and state trial level throughout the state of Indiana on behalf of product manufacturers. We have defended claims involving products that have cause serious personal injuries, some that have resulted in death. In other cases, products have cause property damage due to defects in product design or manufacturing.
Toxic Tort
Our attorneys represent numerous manufacturing clients in the defense of toxic tort cases. We have decades of experience defending claims for damages allegedly stemming from short-term and long-term exposure to hazardous substances, industrial accidents involving hazardous or toxic substances, asbestos litigation, and products liability litigation involving the sale of hazardous or toxic substances. We represent business and industrial clients in litigation involving claims for personal injury, including fear of future injury or illness, and future lost wages and other damages allegedly stemming from exposure to absestos, latex gloves, mold, pharmaceuticals, and silica and other materials.
If you have been a victim of a defective product or toxic tort, Riley Bennet & Egloff, LLP can help. Our practice ranges from the defense of small, single plaintiff/single defendant claims to representation in complex, multi-party claims and large class actions. We are actively involved in the defense of toxic tort cases in state and federal courts throughout Indiana.
