The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's grant of summary judgment dismissing our client, an electrical products manufacturer, based upon the plaintiff's inadequate product identification. Bob Littleton worked with our local counsel, Jim Carlson of Christian & Smalls in Birmingham, to secure this result.
Working closely with Boston local counsel Pete Durney and James Kerr, we successfully persuaded the trial court to exclude the testimony of plaintiff's sole liability expert on the grounds that his opinions were based upon mere conjecture, surmise and speculation which would not assist a jury. This is a potentially case-determinative blow to plaintiff's electrocution, burns and wrongful death claims against our client.
In a construction case involving a brain-damaged MTA worker, the Bronx Supreme Court accepted our evidence that our client was not responsible for the site and found that no further discovery was required before granting the motion.
