Rob Adams produced Missouri’s largest defense verdict in 2013, as reported by Missouri Lawyers Weekly, when he neutralized claims that a manufacturer’s brake system caused a fatal school bus crash. The plaintiffs sought $62 million.

Adams secured the second-largest defense win three years later for a pelvic mesh manufacturer alleged to have caused a woman’s chronic pain after implantation. Adams emerged victorious from a two-month trial in Jackson County and won on appeal before the Missouri Supreme Court.

Missouri Lawyers Media named him an Influential Appellate Advocate at its 2021 Missouri Lawyers Awards.
