Pryce G. Tucker
ABOUT
Pryce Tucker is a partner in the Dallas office of Hartline,
Dacus, Barger, Dreyer & Kern, L.L.P. He joined the firm in 1999 after
a two-year clerkship for a United States District Court judge.
Mr. Tucker has extensive experience in complex civil litigation in state
and federal courts throughout Texas and in several states. While his primary
emphasis has been in products liability litigation, he has also handled
a range of other general civil litigation matters.
A significant portion of his civil litigation and trial
practice has focused on defending domestic and international manufacturers,
with an emphasis on complex products liability cases involving fires. Mr.
Tucker’s education in fires started in his undergraduate years, when
he served as a full-time, on-call firefighter for the Princeton Borough
Volunteer Fire Department in Princeton, NJ. Through his training and work
as a volunteer firefighter, he gained extensive knowledge of fire science
and tactical fire suppression techniques. That practical experience gave
him a thorough understanding of fuels, fire propagation, and post-fire
investigation methods – which he has used in successfully defending
manufacturers in products liability cases. CASE EXPERIENCE
- Obtained a defense
verdict for a major domestic automobile manufacturer in a wrongful death
case involving alleged defects in the design of a vehicle’s fuel
storage and delivery system
- Obtained a defense verdict
for a major foreign automobile manufacturer in a personal injury case
involving alleged defects in the design of a vehicle’s seatbelt.
- Obtained summary judgment
on federal preemption grounds in a federal court case involving alleged
defects in the design of a vehicle’s seatbelt system.
