Attorneys Dallas M. Hartman and Patrick L. Sullivan represented a young mother of three from Mercer County, Pennsylvania who suffered catastrophic injuries, including the loss of limb to her lower extremities, when a piece of heavy machinery catastrophically failed. Facing permanent, life-altering harm, she placed her trust in Dallas W. Hartman, P.C., to fight for the compensation she and her family deserved.
The defendants — a Fortune 500 corporation and a large international company — initially made no offer to settle the case whatsoever. Undeterred, the firm retained multiple mechanical engineers and conducted extensive testing on exemplar heavy machinery to demonstrate that the corporations responsible for the product's design had disregarded basic safety standards entirely. That rigorous preparation built an overwhelming case against both defendants. The case resulted in one of the largest product liability recoveries in the region, securing the financial security this young mother and her three children needed to move forward with their lives.
