He concentrates in premises liability, motor carrier accidents, products liability, contract disputes and cases involving injuries resulting from criminal acts on business premises.
Hansmann also represents boat manufacturers and other corporations in maritime and products liability litigation across the country, handling cases in more than a dozen states in both state and federal courts, from early pre-suit investigations through trial.
