At SSE we understand the importance of early and in-depth investigation, and preservation of evidence and testimony. We regularly defend claims involving contested liability, and identify and engage the appropriate engineers, and biomechanical and human factors experts.
We employ a cost-effective but aggressive approach in defending on damages. We are experienced in identifying questionable and unrelated injuries and medical procedures, and engaging the correct medical experts to defend against those dubious claims. We are also experienced in defending against unscrupulous and inflated medical billing under letters of protection.
