: CalBizLitMore on Removal -- Not Always Protection Against Big, Big Verdicts
By Bruce Nye
I blogged last week on whether removal to Federal court was the best idea for defendants in product liability cases, the short version being, generally, yes.
But it isn't a panacea. Pierson v. Ford Motor Co., 3:06-cv-06503-PJH was a crash-worthiness case brought by bay area indie musician Dax Pierson, who was rendered a quadriplegic in a 2005 roll-over accident. Ford dutifully removed the case. The jury dutifully rendered its verdict against Ford last month for $18,349,391.
