Kyle Farrar is a seasoned trial attorney renowned for his prowess in the courtroom.
With an impressive track record of securing record-setting results – including a $1 billion jury verdict against global automobile manufacturer Mitsubishi – Mr. Farrar represents individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries due to automotive defects, such as tire blowouts and tread separation. His extensive experience spans state and federal courts nationwide, where his litigation skills have consistently delivered outstanding results and national recognition.
Mr. Farrar was listed as National Trial Lawyer of the Year by Public Justice for his work as co-lead counsel in a first of its kind defamation case against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who falsely claimed the mass shooting tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012 was a hoax. That case resulted in a $49.3 million verdict on behalf of one victim’s family, marking the first time Jones would be held financially liable for his false statements about the shooting. He was also named National Appellate Lawyer of the Year in 2022 and Minnesota Lawyer of the Year in 2021.
In practicing with this firm for nearly 20 years, his relentless pursuit of justice has made him a national thought leader in tire and vehicle safety, prompting manufacturers to enhance safety measures and recall defective products.
One example is the firm’s $32.8 million verdict against Cooper Tire in a lawsuit over a fatal 2007 vehicle rollover caused by tire tread separation. Serving as co-lead counsel for the six passengers involved in the car wreck and their families, Mr. Farrar and Wes Ball [hyperlink bio] obtained key documents showing that Cooper Tire was aware of dangerous defects in several of its tire lines, which are no longer manufactured following the result.
Mr. Farrar has taken on leading roles in high-profile multidistrict litigation (MDL) involving dangerous and defective medical products. His unparalleled trial abilities, combined with his commitment to client advocacy, make him a leading force in litigation.
Mr. Farrar has been appointed to the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in two MDL proceedings: MDL 2666: In re: Bair Hugger Forced Air Warming Products Liability Litigation; and MDL 2765: In Re: Smith & Nephew Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation.
Kyle is licensed to practice law in all courts in Texas, California, Minnesota and Montana. He is also licensed in the Supreme Court of the United States.
