Español Justinian & Associates has litigated hundreds of cases and earned millions of dollars in compensation for our clients. These are just a few of our success stories.
However, the results of all client matters depend on a variety of factors unique to each matter. Past case results do not predict or guarantee future case results.
Part of appellate team that protected the jury verdict award in American Honda Motor Co. Inc. v. Martinez et al. (case number 445 EDA 2015). This was an appeal of the highest auto defect verdict ever issued in the state of Pennsylvania. Due to his stellar reputation amongst product liability lawyers, Erik Walker was retained to brief the 8 issues Honda raised in its appeal of this very large verdict. Erik’s team prevailed on each and every issue and the case settled shortly thereafter for a confidential sum.
After Erik Walker obtained a jury verdict in the amount of $28,000,000.00, he then persuaded the 8th Circuit to reverse the setting-aside of a $28 million-dollar award of punitive damages and made new plaintiff-friendly law regarding the learned intermediary defense. Scroggin v. Wyeth, 586 F.3d 547 (8th Cir. 2009), cert. denied, 561 U.S. 1019 (2010) is now widely-cited by the plaintiffs bar and countless mass tort plaintiffs have benefited from this case that Erik briefed and argued.
A large industrial contractor created an unsafe working condition that led to catastrophic injuries. Attorney Justinian C. Lane” proved that the contractor had a pattern of ignoring safety regulations and creating workplace hazards. This conduct led to a an $8.6 million-dollar confidential settlement.
A multinational product manufacturer knowingly sold a defectively-designed product that caused serious injuries to workers who serviced it. The manufacturer had the opportunity to design the product in a safer way that would have prevented the injuries in question, but chose a less-expensive but more-dangerous design.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of a multibillion-dollar defense contractor was responsible for serious workplace injuries due to their negligence in installing high-temperature products. This contractor ignored safety regulations and its behavior caused life-altering injuries.
This well-known company settled confidentially after its product caused permanent and irreversible injuries. This company has since withdrawn the defective product due to the high likelihood that its product would cause similar injuries again.

For decades, plaintiffs relied on Minnesota courts’ application of the state’s generous six-year statute of limitations to out-of-state tort claims. When Wyeth challenged that result, the plaintiffs’ bar had Erik Walker brief and argue the certified question to the Minnesota Supreme Court which unanimously ruled in plaintiffs’ favor, saving tens of thousands of cases nationwide. See Fleeger v. Wyeth, 771 N.W.2d 524 (Minn. 2009).
In the hormone therapy litigation, the MDL court granted a Daubert motion, excluding expert testimony that very short-term use of hormone therapy causes breast cancer. Given that federal circuit courts defer heavily to district court Daubert decisions, and reversal of a MDL Daubert decision is unheard-of, the plaintiffs had Erik Walker brief and argue the matter to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The appellate court reversed the MDL court order, saving thousands of short-term use hormone therapy cases nationwide. See Kuhn v. Wyeth, 686 F.3d 618 (8th Cir. 2012).
