Neblett, Beard & Arsenault partner, Attorney John Randall Whaley, will be one of the featured presenters in an upcoming legal seminar. The course entitled, Lone Pine Orders in Class Action, Mass Tort and Products Liability Litigation: Bringing and Defending Pre-Trial Motions Regarding Exposure, Causation and Damages.
“Lone Pine” orders are a critical case management tool to identify and dismiss claims in mass tort and class action litigation. The order requires plaintiffs to produce evidence to support a prima facie claim early in the litigation, specifically on the issues of exposure, causation, and damages.
Whaley was asked to present the program because of his experience in mass tort/complex litigation. He has tried many cases and class certification issues in both state and federal courts, as well as having argued in many appellate courts. Whaley’s practice focuses on class actions, complex litigation, consumer protection, wrongful death, and serious personal injury representing victims and consumers injured by the negligence and fraud of others.
