  • Wrongful death.   Ken Shigley started out as a  prosecutor trying criminal cases of murder, manslaughter and vehicular homicide, and has litigated on both sides of civil wrongful death cases since the early 1980's.  His breadth of experience is useful in working through the trapdoors of Georgia wrongful death law and insurance coverage law.
  • Defective products.  Ken Shigley has successfully represented plaintiffs in seven-figure recoveries for catastrophic injuries based upon defects in motor vehicle roofs, seatbelts, seats, brakes, tires, as well as a variety of  industrial equipment and consumer products. He handled the only known successful wrongful death products liability claim utilizing the treble damage provisions of the Georgia Fair Business Practices Act, collecting policy limits from a heavy equipment distributor by classifying a defective "knockoff" forklift truck attachent as an "office supply."
