How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • finding that expert’s failure to prepare drawings of alternative design was appropriate factor to consider in excluding testimony
  • holding the trial court did not err in excluding design expert based in part on expert’s failure to perform any testing
  • affirming summary judgment where the plaintiff “failed to test (or even to draft) an alternative warning.”
  • excluding testimony based in part of failure to cite accident experience studies
  • \The fact that [the expert witness] never even drafted a proposed warning renders his opinion akin to ’talking off the cuff’ and not accepted methodology.\
  • expert report rejected when expert failed to prepare detailed designs or calculations, economic feasibility study and risk utility testing
