John Overchuck has dedicated his legal career to the representation of clients who have found themselves pitted against many of the largest corporations in both the United States and abroad. Products liability has been the focus of his work. He has exposed defects in the design of many of the automobiles traveling the roads of America today. His vast knowledge of automotive defective issues includes work on cases involving defective seatbelts, vehicles with a propensity to roll over, roofs that crush and cause catastrophic injuries rather than protect the occupant, as well as vehicles that ignite and burn their occupants.
His work is not limited to automotive defects. He also represents clients in many other defective and hazardous product/material cases including toxic torts, fabrics that burn like newspaper, mattresses that explode when ignited with an open flame and machinery that exposes the user to extreme danger because of design defects. The highlight of his career is his work exposing the practices of the country’s most highly visible establishments who callously expose their customers to dangers that include rape and death.
His vast knowledge of the law and experience gained from his accumulated years as an aggressive trial lawyer allows him to represent consumers who have suffered injury or death as the result of a harmful product or practice.
