Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer - National Board of Legal Specialty Certification

Following a judicial clerkship, Peter Brodhead joined Spangenberg Shibley & Liber in 1980 and has been a partner since 1988. "I have had the privilege at Spangenberg of learning from and working with some of the finest trial lawyers in this area. After thirty years here, I still feel that there is no finer group of attorneys that work so skillfully and diligently on behalf of their clients and their causes."

Tireless Advocacy on Behalf of Clients

Over the span of three decades, Peter has handled a broad range of cases involving both traumatic injury as well as disease and illness due to toxic exposure from harmful chemicals and, in some instances, unsafe pharmaceutical products. Such matters have included asbestos exposure resulting in asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, fatal cancers resulting from substances such as benzene and vinyl chloride monomer fumes, respiratory disease due to metalworking fluid overexposure, and serious lung complications arising from asthma medication contaminated with harmful and potentially fatal bacteria. Most recently, Peter has been serving as Plaintiffs' Liaison Counsel in the Federal Multidistrict Litigation 1909: In Re: Gadolinium-based Contrast Agent Product Liability Litigation. Peter and the Spangenberg firm are currently litigating in this forum against General Electric Healthcare regarding its MRI contrast agent Omniscan, which contains a highly toxic heavy metal called gadolinium. Scientists and doctors have determined that Omniscan causes Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis, a chronic, progressive, incurable and sometimes fatal condition.

In addition to his representing clients in these areas, Peter has also actively litigated cases in several civil rights matters primarily involving the unconstitutional use of excessive force. In recent years, Peter has also handled matters involving patent infringement as well as representation of clients who have been denied insurance coverage. In addition Peter continues to represent victims of catastrophic injuries arising from vehicular and trucking collisions, as well as defective machinery and other products.
