Tom began his career handling product liability and other bodily injury cases, advancing swiftly from simple slip-and-falls to complex, catastrophic injury claims often involving multiple plaintiffs. He also was assigned the products liability and consumer warranty portfolios of several of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world, and developed strategies to supervise these portfolios in a manner that reduced cost and administrative burden, increased predictability and productivity, and eliminated waste.
