Represented a national discount tool and equipment retailer in a product liability lawsuit in which three plaintiffs alleged that the firm’s client sold a defective product that caused permanent, disfiguring injuries.
The plaintiffs originally filed the lawsuit against our client in California. Led by partner Eileen Ahern, the firm successfully filed a forum non conveniens motion to move the case from California to Georgia where the accident occurred.
After securing motion in limine rulings excluding expert opinions bearing on product defect issues, the parties settled on very favorable terms for our client, terms which likely could not have been secured had the case remained in California.
