Self Insured and Insurance Defense Litigation

RICHARD C. BRISTER manages the Rochester office of KSLN and is a 1996 graduate of South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas.  Rick has been a personal injury defense lawyer for more than 14 years, and has worked for insurance carriers and self insureds for most of that time.  Rick's primary areas of concentration include civil litigation, personal injury, premises liability, construction defect and Labor Law, mold and toxic tort defense, and insurance coverage and defense.  Before moving to New York, Rick was a partner with Daw & Ray, P.C., a defense firm in Houston, Texas where he was a member of the litigation team for the nation's largest retailer, defending multi-million dollar death cases relating to tires, tire components, and tire and lube services.  Rick is licensed to practice in both New York and Texas, and is a member of the Defense Research Institute, American Bar Association, New York State Bar Association, Monroe County Bar Association and Houston Bar Association.

Rick is an avid supporter of the burnt orange from his undergraduate alma mater at the University of Texas at Austin, and displays an 800-pound concrete longhorn statue in the front yard of his Pittsford, New York home.  Rick and his wife are parents of two elementary school-aged girls.  On weekends he is routinely found on the soccer fields either coaching or cheering his daughters, or, in the winter, on the ski slopes near Rochester or in the Adirondacks, learning what comes so naturally to his wife, children and peers in the area.
