Mr. Foster has been practicing with the same firm as a civil litigator since graduating from law school in 1983. While he practices generally in the area of torts and insurance law, including products liability law, he has focused in recent years in representing burn victims in fires which have been caused by, or accelerated by product defects in ordinary consumer or building products, many having excessive flammability properties. Among these are upholstered furniture, mattresses, decorative plywood paneling, clothing and acrylic bathtubs. Many involve mobile homes. Mr. Foster stays abreast with judicial and legislative developments in these areas.
Mr. Foster has settled numerous cases representing clients in these areas, many of which are discussed in the [Burn Injury, Flammability Products] pages of this site. He has also made television appearances on national and regional newscasts which have featured some of the fire cases he has settled:
February - 2004 CBS Early Show
February - 2004 11 Alive, Atlanta, GA - NBC
February 2000 Extra
