An experienced trial attorney, Marty has prosecuted subrogation rights in numerous fire, aviation, structural engineering, and products liability cases involving energy generation, transmission and distribution. Marty was the lead subrogation counsel in the MTA rail crash in Silver Spring, Maryland and he has litigated several other large/catastrophic losses involving pipeline explosions, dam collapses, and major refinery explosions – among others. He has handled cases and claims involving bridge collapses, power plant explosions and collapses, warehouse and plant fires, and turbine and generator failures. He has obtained sizable verdicts in several large property and boiler and machinery subrogation cases. Marty has also defended subrogation cases and, therefore, has a unique perspective on the successful and cost-effective handling of such cases.
