Wrongful Death
Weil secured numerous victories for General Motors in litigation alleging automobile product defects. General Motors hired Weil as coordination counsel after being sued in at least 22 different states at once; the lawsuits included both class actions and wrongful death cases. Once Weil centrally coordinated the production of all of the client’s documents and discovery activities, the team’s strategy was to defend the cases based on the conduct of the individual drivers. The strategy proved extremely successful: we won more than 40 jury verdicts in high-stakes automotive design liability and product defect cases involving serious personal injuries in some of the most challenging jurisdictions in this country.

Our experience includes consumer fraud class actions for leading pharmaceutical companies, high-stakes patent disputes for biotech and medical device innovators, product liability litigation relating to major pharmaceutical products, and government and internal investigations for high-profile players in the life sciences space. Many of our litigators have technical backgrounds relating to life sciences and deep experience with a broad array of relevant technologies.
Restraining Order
Following appellate briefing led by Weil, the court denied our adversaries’ motions for discretionary review of a lower court’s order that denied defendants’ motions to dismiss and granted our clients’ motion to preliminarily enjoin the 10 departing member universities from continuing to serve on the Conference’s board. This is the third consecutive victory Weil has secured for its clients in this dispute, following earlier rulings in which the trial court granted our request for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction.

Unfair Competition
Weil achieved a sweeping victory in March 2022 for client CareDx following a five-day jury trial in Delaware federal court, when a jury returned a nearly $45M verdict in CareDx’s favor against competitor Natera. The jury found that Natera intentionally and willfully engaged in false advertising in the promotion of its kidney transplant rejection assessment test that deliberately deceived the organ transplant community, and awarded CareDx $21.2M in compensatory damages and $23.7M in punitive damages under the Lanham Act, the Delaware Deceptive Trade Practices Act and Delaware unfair competition law.

Real Estate Litigation
Construction Litigation
Property Damage
Weil obtained a significant victory on behalf of client SEACOR Holdings Inc. when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the lower court’s dismissal, with prejudice, of all claims against SEACOR and its subsidiaries, who owned and operated marine vessels that responded to the emergency following the April 20, 2010 incident on the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico. A group of Louisiana landowners, commercial fishermen, and oil and gas industry employees brought suit against the owners and operators of the response vessels in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana alleging that the water they directed toward the fire caused the Deepwater Horizon rig to flood and sink, which in turn caused the riser pipe connected to the wellhead to collapse, resulting in the ensuing oil spill into the Gulf of Mexico – the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Plaintiffs asserted claims for property damage and economic losses under general maritime law, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, and Louisiana state law. The district court rejected plaintiffs’ claims that defendants should have known that attempting to cool the fire on the offshore rig would cause it to sink and then leak oil, finding that “a reasonable person in Defendants’ situation would not foresee” such a thing. The Court noted that its decision was consistent with the long-embraced public policy under maritime law that encourages seamen to render prompt service during emergencies, generally unknown in land-based common law.

Personal Injury
Weil served as lead counsel overseeing the defense of Toyobo, a major Japanese fiber manufacturer, in connection with False Claims Act litigation brought by the U.S. DOJ, class action litigation, multiple personal injury suits, and claims by multiple state attorneys general and foreign states, among others, relating to the performance of Toyobo’s Zylon fiber in bullet-resistant vests used by thousands of law enforcement agencies worldwide. In 2018, Weil negotiated a settlement of all remaining claims after securing a number of successful outcomes in the various lawsuits.
