Anita Hotchkiss and Leah A. Brndjar, attorneys in Goldberg Segalla’s Product Liability Practice Group, authored a key chapter for Product Liability Litigation: Current Law, Strategies, and Best Practices, a comprehensive legal treatise published by the Practising Law Institute.

In Chapter 41, Anita and Leah explore practical methods to obtain dismissal or summary judgment in a product liability lawsuit despite the challenge of the plaintiff declaring bankruptcy. The chapter examines a number of critical issues, including the duty to disclose pending and contingent claims, how standing and judicial estoppel are impacted by bankruptcy, choice of law concerns, and much more.
