Courtroom Success 2015-7: New Jersey Partner Christopher Martin and Associate Seth Garrod

Partner Christopher Martin and Associate Seth Garrod obtained summary judgment in a complex liability matter. The case involved the ingestion of a protein and energy supplement manufactured and marketed by our clients on an international scale. Following its use, immediate and progressive symptoms developed in a man in his early twenties resulting in a massive stroke and paralysis. Medical, treatment and life care expenses are in the seven figures. The plaintiff was unable to offer a competent expert to articulate as to causation in terms of the product ingestion and plaintiff’s damages. In this light summary judgment was entered and the case was dismissed with prejudice.
