Adam Pittman

Adam W. Pittman specializes in litigating consumer fraud and automotive defects.

Adam was part of the successful trial team in Cruz v. Nissan North America, where a Los Angeles County jury awarded plaintiffs a $24.9 million verdict after a five-week trial. The Cruz jury found that Nissan was negligent when it failed to issue a recall for the design of its SUV’s braking software, and that this known software defect caused a deadly collision. The jury's verdict was affirmed on appeal to the Supreme Court of California.

Adam was appointed class counsel by the federal district court in the consumer class action Batista, et al. v. Nissan North America, which resulted in a nationwide settlement of claims that Nissan Pathfinders were sold with a known, systemic defect in their "CVT" transmissions.

He also represented the plaintiff in Lisk v. Lumber One, 792 F.3d 1331 (11th Cir. 2015), an important case before the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals that opened the doors for consumers to bring class actions in Alabama’s federal courts for the first time.
