The case was fought over several years, involving extensive discovery and use of expert witnesses. Ultimately, after the court’s revocation of the pro hac vice admission of plaintiffs’ out-of-state counsel, we obtained a favorable settlement for our client. - For many years, until the sale of the company, we coordinated all product liability claims against a major manufacturer of exercise and fitness equipment. Every case was resolved without trial and, in the overwhelming majority of cases, without payment to the plaintiff. - A national electrical receptacle manufacturer was sued in a statewide class action for increased risk of harm to homeowners for the alleged faulty design of back-wire, push-in receptacles. The manufacturer hired Wyche to defend the suit in the MDL in the District of South Carolina. After remand to state court, we secured a dismissal on the merits, based on the absence of injury. That dismissal is currently on appeal to the state court of appeals. - We have represented a major tire manufacturer in appeals of discovery orders in products liability cases that would require it to disclose its secret formulas. - Wyche succeeded in disqualifying a purported expert witness under Daubert in a product liability case, resulting in summary judgment for the manufacturer. * ## Matthew Richardson ## Lead Contact Matthew’s practice focuses mostly on complex civil litigation, and he has participated in some of the largest and most complicated litigation in South Carolina in the past 20 years, including the largest minority owner oppression litigation, the largest public utility rate case, the largest public corruption investigation and prosecution in a generation, the statewide redistricting challenges, statewide consumer protection litigation,… [* View Full Bio](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/what/attorneys/matthew-t-richardson/) ## More Representative Cases ### [Whistleblower & False Claims Act Cases](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/representative-cases/whistleblower-false-claims-act-cases/) [Read More »](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/representative-cases/whistleblower-false-claims-act-cases/) ### [Class Action Cases](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/representative-cases/class-action-cases/) [Read More »](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/representative-cases/class-action-cases/) ### [Plaintiff’s Medical Malpractice Cases](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/representative-cases/plaintiffs-medical-malpractice-cases/) [Read More »](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/representative-cases/plaintiffs-medical-malpractice-cases/) ### [Shareholder Oppression Cases](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/representative-cases/shareholder-oppression-cases/) [Read More »](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/representative-cases/shareholder-oppression-cases/) ### [Catastrophic Injury Cases](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/representative-cases/catastrophic-injury-cases/) [Read More »](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/representative-cases/catastrophic-injury-cases/) ## Contact Us * * Send Message CONTACT US Get in touch today for a confidential consultation to learn how we can advocate for your needs. * * Send Message - [Lawyers](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/lawyers/) - [Practice Areas](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/practice-areas/) - [About](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/about/) - [Blog](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/news-stories/) - [Co-Counsel](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/co-counsel/) - [Representative Cases](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/representative-cases/) - [Contact](https://scpersonalinjuryadvocates.com/contact/) [Linkedin **](https://www.linkedin.com/company/wychepa/) [Facebook **](https://www.facebook.com/wychepa?ref=hl) [Instagram **](https://www.instagram.com/wychepa/)
