About David Paris

David M. Paris started at Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy as a law clerk while attending Cleveland-Marshall College of Law. Over more than 40 years of practice, he has appeared in more than 50 jury trials and has represented thousands of injured victims as well as 700,000 consumers in class actions. He has achieved more than 50 seven-figure and eight-figure settlements and verdicts totaling in excess of $250 million in recoveries. Notable decisions he has championed include Baughman v. State Farm Mutual Insurance Co., 88 Ohio St. 3d 481 (2000), which established important criteria for certification of a consumer class action, and Holeton v. Crouse Cartage Co., 92 Ohio St. 3d 115 (2001), in which the client's companion case declared Ohio's workers' compensation subrogation statute unconstitutional. David has developed particular expertise in wrongful death and catastrophic injuries arising from defective products, medical negligence, construction sites, workplace incidents, and trucking accidents.
