​Russell M. Pfeifer (Partner- Miami) and Emma Nunn (Associate- Miami) secured a dismissal with prejudice in Brevard County Circuit Court for Wilson Elser’s client, an international manufacturer, concluding nine years of litigation in a product liability suit with seven-figure exposure. The plaintiffs, the owner of a recreational vehicle (RV) and three of his insurance companies sued our client in 2015 following an RV refrigerator fire. After one of the insurance companies moved to stay the case due to its dissolution, Russell and Emma moved to re-open the matter and substitute the Florida Insurance Guaranty Association (FIGA) instead of the bankrupt entity. Rather than litigate the remainder of the lawsuit, including Russell and Emma’s two Daubert motions that would effectively determine the case's outcome, the plaintiffs dismissed the lawsuit, exposing themselves to taxable costs and the recovery of attorneys’ fees under statutory proposals for settlement served years ago.
