Although common law was imported from England, the law of products liability is entirely home-grown. Much of it has develop in response to perceived shortcomings and loopholes in the traditional common law, and some elements of American products liability law have now been exported back to England and to other overseas jurisdictions. Since its inception, the development of products liability law has tended to follow the traditional common law path of incremental change, based on both analogies with previous cases and judicial assessments as to what makes good policy. This means that much of the law in this area is still in flux, with the courts in different jurisdictions reaching different decisions as to whether a particular issue should be: —Considered a question of law or of fact —Determined in accordance with doctrines of contracts or torts —Determined, if within the law of torts, in accordance with the Second or Third Restatement of Torts —Treated as a matt…

"Products liability is the object of late-night talk show jokes and politician's stump speeches. Yet, like many subjects discussed by politicians and TV stars, products liability is more subtle and multi-layered than it’s made to appear.

Krauss’ Principles of Products Liability, 3d is designed to ‘‘unpack’’ these subtleties and to allow the reader to understand current American products liability doctrine, and to intelligently participate in debates about proposed reforms.

"Any lawyer who practices regularly in the federal courts will encounter the federal government as a party and will learn, as the Supreme Court warned nearly 60 years ago, that the United States is not “just another private litigant.” The federal government is a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to between one-fifth and one-quarter of all civil cases in the federal courts, including such special tribunals as the Court of Federal Claims and the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. The federal government (and its employees) may be protected by sovereign or official immunities, assert special defenses, and enjoy certain exceptions from liability. Federal government cases often involve issues central to the lives of many people, such as claims involving personal injury under the Federal Tort Claims Act; civilian and employee military claims under the Civil Service Reform Act and Tucker Act; governmental expropriation of property under the Tucker Act; and contractual obligations under the …

"Mass torts" is an incredibly broad term that includes many disparate substantive areas—everything from an airplane accident that injures many individuals at once, to asbestos claims involving alleged exposure and injury over the course of many decades. This book aims to provide a useful guide that examines most phases of mass tort cases while appealing to attorneys of varying levels of experience in many different types of cases. The book begins with a brief history of mass tort litigation, followed by chapters that discuss various stages of individual cases: preliminary considerations such as jurisdiction and venue, theories of liability and defenses, and mechanisms courts use to manage mass tort cases, including class actions and multi-district litigation. There are also chapters addressing discovery, experts and settlement—all in the specialized context of mass torts. Finally, the book explores some issues that arise at least somewhat uniquely in mass tort litigation.

Cases are complex, involving large numbers of plaintiffs and defendants with multiple lawsuits brought in more than one jurisdiction, and can entail difficulties in identifying the source of the claimed harm. Toxic tort cases require innovative complex litigation procedures and heavily rely on establishing scientific concepts to resolve causation issues. Now completely updated and revised, the second edition of Toxic Tort Litigation is a practice-focused guide that explores the specific and often unique elements that distinguish this type of litigation. In part 1, chapters explain the differing theories of liability and damages within the toxic tort context, as well as the key procedural and substantive defenses to toxic tort claims. Others cover the important aspects of scientific and medical evidence and causation, including dealing with the opinions of experts in the context of Daubert or Frye challenges.…

Although common law was imported from England, the law of products liability is entirely home-grown. Much of it has develop in response to perceived shortcomings and loopholes in the traditional common law, and some elements of American products liability law have now been exported back to England and to other overseas jurisdictions. Since its inception, the development of products liability law has tended to follow the traditional common law path of incremental change, based on both analogies with previous cases and judicial assessments as to what makes good policy. This means that much of the law in this area is still in flux, with the courts in different jurisdictions reaching different decisions as to whether a particular issue should be: —Considered a question of law or of fact —Determined in accordance with doctrines of contracts or torts —Determined, if within the law of torts, in accordance with the Second or Third Restatement of Torts —Treated as a matt…

"Any lawyer who practices regularly in the federal courts will encounter the federal government as a party and will learn, as the Supreme Court warned nearly 60 years ago, that the United States is not “just another private litigant.” The federal government is a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to between one-fifth and one-quarter of all civil cases in the federal courts, including such special tribunals as the Court of Federal Claims and the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. The federal government (and its employees) may be protected by sovereign or official immunities, assert special defenses, and enjoy certain exceptions from liability. Federal government cases often involve issues central to the lives of many people, such as claims involving personal injury under the Federal Tort Claims Act; civilian and employee military claims under the Civil Service Reform Act and Tucker Act; governmental expropriation of property under the Tucker Act; and contractual obligations under the …

"Mass torts" is an incredibly broad term that includes many disparate substantive areas—everything from an airplane accident that injures many individuals at once, to asbestos claims involving alleged exposure and injury over the course of many decades. This book aims to provide a useful guide that examines most phases of mass tort cases while appealing to attorneys of varying levels of experience in many different types of cases. The book begins with a brief history of mass tort litigation, followed by chapters that discuss various stages of individual cases: preliminary considerations such as jurisdiction and venue, theories of liability and defenses, and mechanisms courts use to manage mass tort cases, including class actions and multi-district litigation. There are also chapters addressing discovery, experts and settlement—all in the specialized context of mass torts. Finally, the book explores some issues that arise at least somewhat uniquely in mass tort litigation.

At its most fundamental nature, the purpose of additional insured coverage is to protect the additional insured from claims of vicarious liability, that is, liability based entirely on the relationship between two insureds, as opposed to any active negligence on the part of the additional insured. The contours, exceptions, nuances and alternative approaches taken across the country and, internationally, have created the need for an all-inclusive lawyer resource. The Handbook on Additional Insureds serves as that resource by addressing all aspects practitioners are faced with when dealing with this complex coverage. Chapters include, but are not limited to: Definitions and Comparisons of Commonly Used Titles Common Provisions Hold Harmless and Indemnification Agreements Memorializing Status Development of Common Endorsements Subrogation and Anti-Subrogation Limits Issues

Trying a toxic tort case is very different from other high-stakes litigation. Cases are complex, involving large numbers of plaintiffs and defendants with multiple lawsuits brought in more than one jurisdiction, and can entail difficulties in identifying the source of the claimed harm. Toxic tort cases require innovative complex litigation procedures and heavily rely on establishing scientific concepts to resolve causation issues. Now completely updated and revised, the second edition of Toxic Tort Litigation is a practice-focused guide that explores the specific and often unique elements that distinguish this type of litigation. In part 1, chapters explain the differing theories of liability and damages within the toxic tort context, as well as the key procedural and substantive defenses to toxic tort claims. Others cover the important aspects of scientific and medical evidence and causation, including dealing with the opinions of experts in the context of Daubert or Frye challenges.…
