Latest Lawsuit News & Legal Information

NEC Infant Formula Makers Face Retrial in Only Victory
St. Louis, MO Infant baby formula manufacturers are facing a new trial after a Missouri judge accused their lawyers of misconduct, which resulted in the jury’s unfair verdict over their only victory. The companies Abbott and Reckitt are accused of failing to warn that their specialised formulas used by intensive care units for newborns could cause necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), a disease that affects premature infants and has an estimated mortality rate of more than twenty percent.

Family Awarded $8.7M for Medical Malpractice in Veteran’s Death
Atlanta, GA An Atlanta family was awarded $8.7M last week after Jessie James Anderson, a U.S. Army veteran, died from veteran medical malpractice almost eight years ago. Anderson underwent surgery at the Atlanta VA Medical Center and died after a nurse’s feeding tube error. The wrongful death case, which was heard in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, led to a long and complex legal fight about the government’s failure to care for its veterans and its discovery violations.

Google Settles Disability Lawsuit
Santa Clara, CA Google and a former employee have settled a disability discrimination lawsuit in California federal court. Plaintiff Steven Newman claimed he was unlawfully terminated after taking medical leave for bipolar disorder. The settlement terms have not yet been disclosed.

Rescuing PAGA
San Diego, CA On February 26, the California Court of Appeal held that Jose Parra Rodriguez’s wage and hour lawsuit did not have to be arbitrated, even though Parra signed (or did he?) an arbitration agreement. The chance to go to court, rather than arbitrate a California wage and hour dispute is generally understood as an important procedural “win” for workers. The decision appears to strengthen the ability of wage workers to use the California Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) to enforce the protective provisions of the California Labor Code.

Depo-Provera Litigation on Fast Track
Santa Clara, CA Depo-Provera litigation is clipping along with Judge M. Casey Rodgers in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. Judge Rodgers, a veteran of large mass tort litigation, has also approved a plan to increase further efficiency and avoid delays: Women can now file new Depo-Provera meningioma cases directly in the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL), as so many Depo-Provera lawsuits continue to be filed against the manufacturers of the popular birth control shot.
