After that jury-verdict disaster in Jackson, Mississippi in the personal injury lead paint litigation against Sherwin-Williams, we are all ears for the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling on personal injury lead paint case "Godoy." You might recall that a number of courts did not allow that case to go to trial. Now, we will find out if it will. If it does, that's another sign that the personal-injury route vs. the public nuisance one could be the approach the plaintiff bar will take in complaints against the former lead paint industry.
This evening, attorney R. Trent Taylor of McGuire LLP flagged us that the WI SC "Godoy" decision will be delivered this Tuesday, July 14th, at 8:30 A.M., Central time. Taylor is an expert on, among other practice areas, public nuisance. He published the seminal article on "State of North Carolina v TVA" in the TOXICS LAW REPORTER. I deconstructed his perspective on this blog. Here is a copy of Taylor's whole discussion. Taylor can be reached at Rtaylor@mcguirewoods.com
