After three decades of defending insurance companies, manufacturers, and transportation businesses, Robert Greer has gradually taken on the representation of more and more individuals who have been seriously hurt. He finds it far more rewarding to represent people instead of balance sheets. But his experience on the defense side of litigation, having learned what insurers look for, permits him to fairly evaluate and settle cases for maximum value without trial. But if trial is needed, he’s done it before — often.
Greer was formerly a partner with a national law firm specializing in products liability and aviation litigation, and managing attorney for a major property and casualty insurer.
A lawyer's record in trial results in better settlements. Greer has been lead counsel in almost 100 jury trials involving death, personal injuries, insurance bad faith, defective products, aircraft crashes, car, truck and bus accidents and fires and explosions.
Cases litigated include damages from wrongful death, amputation, paralysis, brain injuries, fractures, burns, chronic pain, job loss, loss of business and profits, and destruction of property.
Not just a trial lawyer, Greer has had successful appeals involving personal injury, products liability, evidence and trial procedure, most notably State Farm Ins. Co. v. Premier Manufacturing Systems, 213 Ariz. 419 (2008) (applying comparative fault to defective products), Law v. Superior Court of Arizona, 157 Ariz. 147 (1988) (seat belt defense); Broadbent v. Broadbent, 184 Ariz. 74 (1995) (abolishing parental immunity)
