Suing a foreign manufacturer in state court can be a dicey proposition. But chalk one up for the personal injury attorneys because a French aerospace manufacturer will have to answer in Illinois state court for its alleged role in a fatal helicopter crash.
Try as they might, personal injury attorneys are making little progress in expanding the bounds of liability in the context of sports injuries. The South Carolina Supreme Court served up another loss on that front Monday in the case of a father injured in a Cub Scout-sponsored softball game. In March 2004, David Cole and his son went on a camping trip organized by Cub Scout Pack 48. Naturally, a featured event of the outing was a father-son softball game.

Plaintiffs' personal injury attorneys are gearing up to initiate an onslaught of litigation against makers of the popular painkillers Darvon and Darvocet.

Lydia Rosenfeld's story about her fateful voyage to a buffet bar isn't exactly the stuff of Herman Melville, but it is a sea tale that should thrill personal injury attorneys.
