Manufacturers Obtain Voluntary Dismissals with Help of Law Firm
1.
2. Scott Haworth, managing partner at Haworth
Coleman & Gerstman, LLC, is an accomplished
defense attorney who has represented many
high-profile clients in product liability and
catastrophic injury cases. In 2004 and 2006,
Scott Haworth received an “Attorney of the
Year” award from a large medical device
manufacturer, who he had represented
successfully in multiple cases.
Recent victories for Mr. Haworth include
Plaintiff v. Heavy Truck Manufacturer, heard in
Superior Court in Monmouth County, New
Jersey.
3. The plaintiff was a sanitation worker who experienced
a traumatic amputation after getting his hand
caught in the truck’s compacting system. Based on
the lack of successor liability, the law firm filed a
motion for summary judgement that resulted in a
voluntary dismissal with prejudice of claims against
the client.
In another case, Plaintiff v. Medical Device
Manufacturer, the firm again obtained a voluntary
dismissal favoring a durable medical device
manufacturer after a patient alleged that an electric
hospital bed was the cause of a fire that killed one
and damaged property.
