Case in Point:
$1,500,000
for 'men in basket'.

A 65-ton capacity rough terrain crane which was manufactured and sold with a load moment indicator (that would notify the crane's operator if the crane was at a point where it exceeded its weight capacity and was overloaded) had been intentionally disconnected. On the day in question, our clients who were being transported in a 'man-basket' were injured when the crane and its load overturned.

Our firm successfully argued that the contractor in charge of the jobsite was responsible for the accident since its crane operator violated safe practice standards by bypassing the load moment indicator and the contractor's improper use of the 'man-basket' which was found not to be in compliance with industry standards.

Andrew C. Bryman

As a partner in the law firm of Bryman and Apelian, Andrew Bryman brings a wealth of knowledge and determination to any case that he pursues.

Andrew is no stranger to aggressively championing his client's causes. According to the highly regarded publication Verdicts and Settlements, "Andrew C. Bryman's hard-charging manner can rub opposing counsel the wrong way, but it also wins cases."

A keen interest in the law was inherited from his father, Bernard C. Bryman, who continues to practice law in Philadelphia - and like father, like son - both litigate personal injury cases. Andrew's upbringing gave him an appreciation for ethics - as he developed a style that professionally and passionately forces companies to make their products safe for the public while working doggedly on behalf of the people he represents.

Andrew is a member of many legal related organizations, including the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, which is the largest trial lawyer association in the United States, dedicated to protecting the interests of you, the consumer. For the last ten years, Andrew has sat on this organization's Board of Governors, and was nominated by this board as Trial Lawyer of the Year for both the years 2002 and 2003. Andrew has been asked on many occasions to lecture before various attorney groups on personal injury related subjects. Andrew also continues to be a contributing author in the field of personal injury litigation, was voted in as a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates and was selected and named as one of Southern California's Super Lawyers for the year 2005. Andrew was recognized in the Feb. 2005 issue of Los Angeles magazine and in the 2005 edition of Super Lawyers. Andrew again received this same honor for the year 2006.
