Segal McCambridge Associate Sarah La Pearl has published a column in Law360 where she explains how companies must take a proactive approach to mitigate the risks posed by “forever chemicals” in their products. “Companies claiming products are free of PFAS may face liability without tested proof demonstrating they do not, in fact, contain these forever chemicals,” Sarah said. “Even though PFAS are with us seemingly until the end of time, the public must be made aware of their presence in common consumer products—and in our food supply.” Read Sarah’s article here: https://bit.ly/4edvJrq (subscriber-based). #law360 #SegalMcCambridge #foreverchemicals #PFAS

Segal McCambridge is proud to announce a significant legal win, led by Senior Associate Antigone Tzakis. Our team successfully secured a summary judgment in a case involving claims of negligent hiring, negligent supervision, and battery, stemming from an alleged assault during a soccer match. We demonstrated, and the Court agreed, that our client had no responsibility for the alleged actions of the Director of Coaching, an independent contractor, who was not even coaching the team at the time of the incident. Additionally, the physical contact described by the plaintiff was deemed an inherent risk of the sport. Congratulations to Antigone and the team for their hard work and dedication to achieving this favorable result!

The case, involving an injury at the “Team Challenge 2022” competition, was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Troy’s defense highlighted the importance of jurisdictional boundaries, showing that the facility’s minimal connections to New York were insufficient to bring the case forward. Want the full story?
