Summary Judgment Affirmed
kimi / 0 Comments /Acker & Whipple obtained summary judgment in behalf of a candle manufacturer defendant. Twins perished in a house fire, and the boys’ parents sued, alleging a candle was defectively designed and caused the fire. Plaintiffs’ expert opined that the candle cracked or the glass casing couldn’t resist high temperatures, but he provided no factual basis for his opinions. The court sustained all objections to plaintiffs’ expert’s declaration and granted summary judgment on all causes of action. Plaintiffs appealed. Acker & Whipple continued to represent the candle manufacturer. The appellate court affirmed, agreeing that there was no triable issue of material fact regarding liability. See the Successes page for more details.
