 Scott Haworth, managing partner at Haworth 
Coleman & Gerstman, LLC, is an accomplished 
defense attorney who has represented many 
high-profile clients in product liability and 
catastrophic injury cases. In 2004 and 2006, 
Scott Haworth received an “Attorney of the 
Year” award from a large medical device 
manufacturer, who he had represented 
successfully in multiple cases. 
Recent victories for Mr. Haworth include 
Plaintiff v. Heavy Truck Manufacturer, heard in 
Superior Court in Monmouth County, New 
Jersey.
 The plaintiff was a sanitation worker who experienced 
a traumatic amputation after getting his hand 
caught in the truck’s compacting system. Based on 
the lack of successor liability, the law firm filed a 
motion for summary judgement that resulted in a 
voluntary dismissal with prejudice of claims against 
the client. 
In another case, Plaintiff v. Medical Device 
Manufacturer, the firm again obtained a voluntary 
dismissal favoring a durable medical device 
manufacturer after a patient alleged that an electric 
hospital bed was the cause of a fire that killed one 
and damaged property.
