Rebecca Young (Partner-Birmingham, AL) won summary judgment for a product manufacturer in a case involving an allegedly defective trailer that caused the plaintiff company significant consequential damages including loss of business, substantial storage and towing costs, and loss of use. The plaintiff made claims under the Alabama Extended Manufacturer Liability Doctrine (AEMLD) as well as claims for negligence, wantonness and breach of implied warranty of merchantability, and made a demand for nearly $1 million to resolve the claims. Rebecca filed for summary judgment and argued that the tort claims, implied warranty claim, business injury damages and all other consequential damages were barred by the economic loss rule and limited remedies in the express warranty. The U.S District Court for the Northern District of Alabama agreed with these arguments and granted summary judgment disposing of those claims and damages.
