Gregory M. Clift recently secured a summary judgment in a products liability case brought in Tennessee. The plaintiff claimed injuries from the clients’ pharmaceutical product. She sued a number of companies and individuals associated with the companies. After the close of discovery (where through Mr. Clift’s strategy costly depositions were avoided), the court granted summary judgment for all defendants. The court found the individuals were not manufactures or sellers under the Tennessee Products Liability Act. The court also found plaintiff was unable to establish the product was unreasonably dangerous and presented no evidence the product caused her complained-of ailments.
The win underscores the importance of cost-effective litigation management to achieve winning results for the Firm’s clients. It further shows the Firm’s commitment to protecting its clients from allegations that may impact its clients’ reputations and bottom line negatively.
