O’Neill Friedman was purpose-built for people and businesses facing defining moments–events that can change a life, reshape an industry, or rewrite the rules. We focus exclusively on high-impact plaintiffs’ litigation.
Expertise
Practice Areas
Personal Injury & Wrongful Death
We represent individuals and families whose lives have been changed by preventable harm, and we build cases that restore dignity, secure full compensation, and drive change. From day one, we move fast to preserve evidence, map the failure chain, and prove accountability.
Transportation & Trucking
We handle catastrophic transportation, trucking, and commercial vehicle cases by treating them like system-failure investigations. We reconstruct each crash and investigate driver training and performance, corporate safety culture, and vehicle maintenance. We collect and secure critical data and records early, test the defense narratives, and build a clear case against the driver and all companies in the logistics chain.
Premises Liability
Owners and operators must keep their properties reasonably safe and address known hazards before someone gets hurt. We prove what the owner and operator knew or should have known, what they failed to fix or warn about, and how preventable lapses caused serious injury.
Product Liability
Defective products injure people when design choices, warnings, testing, and quality controls break down. We work with engineers and other specialists to isolate the defect, explain safer alternatives, and show why the product should never have reached the consumer in that condition.
Food Safety
When food and nutrition products are unsafe, misbranded, or contaminated, the harm is preventable—and the proof is often hiding in quality systems, test data, and supplier controls. We move quickly to secure product samples and records, trace the failure chain from formulation to distribution, and hold every responsible entity accountable.
Class & Mass Actions
Some harms are too widespread for one case to fix, and the law provides tools to address systemic misconduct at scale. We build class and coordinated mass actions with disciplined case architecture: a clean common theory, tight proof, and a plan that forces real change and real compensation.
Business & Commercial Disputes
We represent businesses and individuals in high-stakes disputes where outcomes can reshape operations, reputations, and livelihoods. We combine aggressive litigation with practical strategy—targeting the pressure points that resolve cases efficiently, or trying them when that’s what it takes.
Insurance Recovery
When an insurer delays, denies, or undervalues a legitimate claim, we treat the coverage file like a decision trail–and we follow it to the end. We pursue the benefits owed and, where the facts and law support it, penalties for bad-faith conduct.
Medical Malpractice
We represent patients and families harmed by preventable medical error because complex medicine demands basic safety and adherence to the standard of care. We reconstruct the clinical timeline, work with qualified specialists, and pursue accountability for individual negligence and institutional failures.
Appeals
When a trial court gets it wrong–or an unjust result demands correction–we build appellate briefs that simplify complexity and focus on the hinge facts that drive outcomes. We protect the record, frame the legal error cleanly, and advocate for decisions that restore fairness and enforce the rules.
