Bush Seyferth Secures Full Dismissal of Automotive Class Action

Bush Seyferth secured a significant victory on a motion to dismiss a putative automotive class action.  The firm successfully argued that, to have standing to sue on an overpayment theory of injury, plaintiffs must plausibly allege the existence of a claimed defect in their own vehicles.  Recognizing that the plaintiffs had experienced no manifested symptoms, that they offered no testing, engineering, or statistical analysis of their own, and that the defect theory they advanced conflicted with the very recall on which they otherwise based their claims, the Court granted the motion and dismissed the case in its entirety.

The litigation team included Roger P. Meyers, Stephanie A. Douglas, and Susan M. McKeever.
