Todd Hilton

An experienced litigator and trial lawyer, I gain successful results for individuals and companies in some of the most challenging areas of law. I focus my practice on three principal areas: Mass Torts. I have and continue to represent the victims of defective drugs against major pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors. I have been heavily involved litigation involving serious personal injuries for individuals who took various drugs including Vioxx (and other NSAIDs), Risperdal, Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), Taxotere, Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filters, Actos, transvaginal mesh and artificial hips. Personal Injury and Wrongful Death. I effectively advocate for individuals and families who have been killed or hurt in accidents. In one recent case, my Team sued Liberty Fruit Company for the wrongful death of a St. Louis husband and father of three. After a two-week trial, a St. Louis City, Missouri jury returned a verdict of $6.75 million against Defendant Liberty Fruit Company and in favor of the Plaintiffs, the family of a man who was killed after a 37-foot, 26,000-pound Liberty Fruit box truck backed into and over him as he walked across a trucking lot. Product Liability and similar business litigation. I have handled multiple individual and class action litigation when manufacturers market defective or dangerous products, or fail to provide adequate warning about potential harm. I recently represented Kawasaki Motors in a dispute with a vendor who supplied fuel filters alleged to be defective, leak fuel, and in some cases, cause fires on consumer lawnmowers. After a nationwide recall on all affected products,the case settled just before trial for $4 million. I have been a perennial Missouri/Kansas “Super Lawyer." I have also been included in the National Trial Lawyers’ “Top 100 Trial Lawyers" and have also been selected as "America's Top 100 High Stakes Litigators."
