This new Committee, which comprises a group of representatives of manufacturers, claimants, insurers and others, is actively exploring the process of product liability litigation in the hopes of generating a guide to the efficient and just resolution of such claims. The Committee includes representatives of all interested parties, such as indemnitors’ and claimants’ attorneys. The Committee has developed a Protocol for Early Case Resolution of Product Liability Cases and is currently developing a toolkit to assist businesses to implement the Protocol.
The Chair of this Committee is Dale Matschullat of Schiff Hardin LLP (former General Counsel of Newell Rubbermaid).
CPR regularly convenes this committee of in-house counsel, attorneys, and leading ADR practitioners to analyze, establish benchmarks and publish material on issues that are critically important to business practices.
