David E. Copple

General Practice Law

2425 Taylor Ave, Norfolk, NE 68701, USA

David E Copple‘s litigation practice at Copple, Rockey, Schlecht, & Mason is regional in scope. Mr Copple has litigated cases in or represented clients from Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Mr. Copple’s comprehensive practice emphasizes sophisticated litigation for plaintiff and defendant in cases involving personal injury, products liability, corporate-commercial, banking, creditor bankruptcy, securities, wrongful death, and real estate investment trusts. David E Copple has successfully tried felony criminal cases, a felony manslaughter case and a first degree murder case. David E Copple’s appellate work has included cases of first impression, addressing significant legal interpretations. Notable cases include determining that a “farmer” qualifies as a “merchant” under the Nebraska Uniform Commercial Code and that a “bank employee” does not fall under the “professional” category for the purposes of the professional malpractice statute of limitations. He has also successfully argued that a named driver exclusion cannot be applied to deny an insured party uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage when the excluded driver was not responsible for the injury and is not seeking coverage. Additionally, his work has established that a secured creditor can qualify as a good faith purchaser for value and receive priority under Nebraska Uniform Commercial Code, Article IX, over an unpaid seller. He has also played a key role in affirming that state common law theories of negligence and strict liability are preempted by The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act in cases involving “non-applicators” injured by toxic chemical exposure.
