Bailey & Glasser, LLP partner and mass tort litigator Todd Mathews is speaking on May 4th at the Mass Torts Puerto Rico conference on hot topics in mass torts law and sharing our firm’s experiences in the past year’s impactful litigations including the Johnson & Johnson/LTL “Texas Two Step” litigation, the 3M/Aereo bankruptcy, trends in asbestos litigation, and more.
“This is not over by a long shot”: Bailey Glasser founding partner Brian Glasser, one of the lead lawyers in the fight to protect plaintiffs in the J&J/LTL bankruptcy, made a statement to CBS News today rejecting what appears to be extra money found in Johnson & Johnson’s company lounge “seat cushions.” J&J, one of the world’s wealthiest companies, continues to try to abuse the bankruptcy process to deny plaintiffs injured by the company’s talc products their day in court.
Bailey Glasser’s trial team of Brian Glasser, David Selby, Jackie Olinger-Rochelle, Christina Hutchins, Leslie Brueckner, and Todd Mathews, along with David Wool of Wool Trial Law and Joan Lockwood and Tom Neill of Gray Ritter and Graham, began the presentation of evidence in the first St. Louis City Roundup Trial on Tuesday. By the third day of trial, the case resolved. Brian Glasser said, “We are very happy to have brought this matter to a successful resolution for our client Nathaniel Evans and his family.”
In a significant win for U.S. veterans across the country, a United States bankruptcy judge in Indiana refused to support 3M Co.’s attempt to temporarily stop more than 230,000 lawsuits related to 3M’s defective earplugs from moving forward. These lawsuits accuse 3M and its bankrupt subsidiary, Aearo Technologies LLC, of selling faulty combat earplugs that damaged the hearing of veterans who used them.
