Ernie Goodwin and Frank Manchisi (Partners-White Plains, NY)
participated in a Q&A session on "Product Liability"
in the February 2021 Financier Worldwide In-Depth Feature.
Financier Worldwide canvasses the opinions of leading
professionals around the world on the latest trends in product
liability. When asked about factors that might affect future
claims, Ernie and Frank responded, "There likely will be an
increase in claims related to manufacturing plants or facilities
that were shut down for large parts of 2020. There also will be
more claims related to travel. Plaintiffs' counsel will likely
be more open to different kinds of product liability claims in an
attempt to cover for any 2020 economic shortfalls."
