🚨Verdict Alert Tricia Payne, Pensacola-Hub Partner, and Megan “Maggie” Colter, Tampa-Hub Partner, achieved a significant victory for our client by securing dismissal in the initial case through thorough discovery and presentation of compelling evidence that refuted multiple claims. This resulted in obtaining dispositive relief and a summary judgment, ultimately saving our client a substantial amount of money and preempting the need for a jury trial. Despite the plaintiff's appeal of the initial decision, Tricia maintained her focus and enlisted Maggie to assist in drafting the appeal and navigating the case. Drawing upon their rich history in tort, specifically premises liability, they presented a strong case from the start achieving a summary judgment that eventually led to a successful outcome in a subsequent appeal. At QPWB, we not only represent the truth, but we advocate for it, always ready to challenge and diligently pursue justice. Tricia and Maggie's proven determination and ability to navigate and succeed in complex legal battles showcase their rich history in premise liability. They not only expose and challenge biases within the legal system but also ensure a just outcome despite initial obstacles, making a meaningful difference in favor of our clients and setting a precedent that protects their pursuit of justice. Read the full posting on our site to discover how the QPWB difference can make a significant impact on complex cases in premise liability and beyond.

Anyone take notice of the Michigan Supreme Court opinion recently issued that all but abolishes Michigan's open and obvious danger doctrine? As a business owner, why should you care? See below for a couple of articles that provide an overview of the open and obvious definition and impact. If you're looking for a TLDR -- the Kitch article explains that barring a subsequent statement on the recent decision, it will apply retroactively to all pending cases. This will have lasting impacts for business owners directly, as well as the general liability carriers that insure them. #openandobvious #legal #insurance #litigation #riskmanagement #strategy #michigan #michiganlaw https://lnkd.in/gF_Jqzcb https://lnkd.in/gDeUr6aH

For civil litigators interested or involved in multidistrict litigation, you should be aware of the potential impact of the new FRCP 16.1, the first federal rule specific to MDLs. In the comment to the draft Rule that I co-authored with Robert E. Johnston (link below), we offer our recommendations on how more robust language could make the MDL system both fairer and more efficient.
Hollingsworth LLP’s Robert E. Johnston and Gary Feldon submitted a comment to the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure regarding the draft Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16.1, which will govern the initial case management phase of federal multidistrict litigation (“MDL”). The new Rule 16.1 will be the first to address MDLs specifically. #LitigationMatters

Best Practices For Untangling Mass Tort Claimants' Liens In the In re: 3M Combat Arms Earplug Products Liability Litigation, U.S. District Judge M. Casey Rodgers approved 3M Co.'s request to issue $1 billion in unregistered stock as part of a $6 billion settlement. However, before plaintiffs receive compensation, their attorneys must navigate the complex process of lien resolution. Liens, legal rights to be paid for debts, often complicate mass tort litigation, as there can be numerous claimants with various liens from government agencies or medical providers. The lien resolution process, crucial for claimants' eligibility for health insurance and financial penalties, can take months or more. The article suggests three best practices for attorneys: starting early to identify potential lienholders, forming a team of lien experts, and gaining negotiating leverage by resolving liens in bulk. Efficient lien resolution is vital to ensuring timely disbursement of settlement funds to claimants. https://lnkd.in/ghqEZ-ZT
