Products Liability / Brain Injury Defense Victory

Straus Meyers, LLP scored another victory for its clients in a products liability action involving claims of a traumatic brain injury occurring in Los Angeles County, California. The matter, initially litigated in Los Angeles state court, was removed to Federal Court in Los Angeles. Straus Meyers, LLP filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule 12. After several amendments to the complaint and cross-complaint, as well as the later insertion of alter-ego theories, the Central District ultimately agreed with Straus Meyers, LLP’s arguments and dismissed its out-of-state corporate and individual clients on jurisdictional grounds.
