A Cook County Court dismissed a wrongful death suit against TASER International this week. This is the company’s 30th consecutive victory in product liability cases brought by plaintiffs who have sustained personal injuries or the families of victims killed by TASERs. There have, however, been verdicts entered against police departments for injuries and deaths caused by TASERs.
This victory was significant because a medical examiner had determined the TASER to be the primary cause of death.
Interestingly, TASER International, in a press release, attributed the string of victories to aggressive legal strategies, a strong litigation team, and world-class expert witnesses rather than making any claim regarding the safety of the product.
