Nikhil Kapadia
Associate, Sioux Falls and Brookings
Nikhil handles car crash and nursing home cases from Sioux Falls, and keeps the Brookings office.
Nikhil studied engineering in Brookings before law school, which turns out to be useful when a case comes down to a guardrail, a brake line or a curve that's banked the wrong way.
He joined the firm as a law clerk and stayed. On Tuesdays and Thursdays he's in Brookings.

What an engineer notices at a crash
Nikhil reads a crash report the way he'd read a load test: what moved, how far, and what should have stopped it.
When a road or a part is to blame, he brings in the expert early, so the claim is built on it from the start.
