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.
