Lawsuits are not won by luck. In fact, more often
than anyone would like to admit, many times people with valid claims lose.
Careful planning and preparation both before and during trial makes a huge
difference. John plans far ahead, anticipates and preempts the defense, in
his cases. This has made a tremendous difference in the results. This
ability is not surprising as John is an internationally-rated chess player.
John has been practicing law for almost thirty years
and has seven and eight figure verdicts. He has focused much of his time
and effort on products liability cases,
representing clients who have been catastrophically injured
or whose loved ones have been killed as a result of
defective products.
John Rowell has been a pioneer in the field of consumer
safety. He has represented clients in cases involving a wide array of products where
the product
design was unsafe such as airplanes, automobiles and tires.
John started his career working on Grinshaw v. Ford Motor Co.,
the famous
Pinto exploding gas tank case, and on the
Paris Air Crash case,
where a defective cargo door cost the lives of all on board.
He has handled all types of product liability cases, including
actions where injury was caused by defective design or manufacture of cars,
tires, air bags, aircraft, medical devices, drugs, industrial machinery,
and other consumer products
such as coffee makers. He is currently serving
on the California Plaintiffs Committee for the Explorer
Firestone Tire
cases.
As a California plaintiff attorney, John has
handled hundreds of cases for victims of motor vehicle accidents and
unsafe products. He has taken on many corporate giants,
including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Freightliner, Honda,
Isuzu, Subaru, Nissan, Toyota, Goodyear, Goodrich, Firestone,
Bridgestone, Hyundai, Caterpillar,
Greyhound and others.
