As those of you who follow Paul LLP's trials (pun intended), challenging cases, and victories know, our purpose is making industry-wide changes so the same bad things don't keep happening.

We at the firm personally have many friends experienced a horrific incident last weekend while cheering on their children as the Varsity National Cheer Association Nationals in Dallas. While the details of what really happened are not clear; events that day lead to widespread panic of an active shooter, followed by a stampede of 50,000+ people trying to get themselves and their children to safety. Families were separated for hours not knowing if their loved ones were dead. Children were swooped up and carried by other parents to safety. Children ran across active railroad tracks outside of the arena desperate to get away.

All because (it appears) Varsity (the event producer) and the convention center had completely inadequate security. There was not a police presence at the event, there were no metal detectors, no bag checks, no evacuation plan!, no private security. The safety and security measures you would expect at a large-scale event.

We are researching and working through the best way to help from a legal standpoint. But right now, we are interested in hearing from people who were there, what you experienced, and how it affected you and your family, whether that is physical or emotional trauma.

If you know someone, and think they might want to share their story, here's our dedicated website:

Within Paul LLP, we have many friends and family that experienced a horrific incident last weekend while cheering on their children as the Varsity National Cheer Association Nationals in Dallas.

All because (it appears) Varsity (the event producer) and the convention center had completely inadequate security. There was not a police presence at the event, there were no metal detectors, no bag checks, no evacuation plan!, no private security. This in complete juxtaposition with large scale events like concerts where security is actively present and engaging.

We are researching and working through the best way to help from a legal standpoint. But right now, we are interested in hearing from people who were there, what you experienced, and how it affected you and your family, whether that is physical or emotional trauma.

Paul LLP is investigating claims on behalf of victims whose Kia or Hydunia was stolen and on behalf of victims who were injured by a stolen Kia or Hyundai.

According to the Associated Press, "Some U.S. cities have reported that 60% or more of their auto theft reports now involve Hyundais or Kias. Videos on TikTok and other sites that illustrate how to start and steal Kia and Hyundai models — using only a screwdriver and a USB cable — have allowed the thefts to spread across the nation since late 2021."

A federal appeals court rejected Johnson & Johnson's attempt to force over thirty thousands claims related to its talc products into bankruptcy court.

This is a victory for plaintiffs and ovarian cancer victims across the country and a salient warning for defendants who plan to use bankrupty court to settle mass tort cases. Read more below.

The decision by the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia removed from bankruptcy the company’s LTL Management unit, which was facing more than 38,000 legal claims tied to products suc…

"And then, quietly the company embraced a strategy to circumvent juries entirely. Deploying a legal maneuver first used by Koch Industries, Johnson & Johnson, a company valued at nearly half a trillion dollars, with a credit rating higher than that of the United States government, declared bankrupty. Because of that move, the fate of forty thousand current lawsuits and the possibility of future claims by cancer victims or their survivors now rests with a single bankruptcy judge in the company's home state, New Jersey."

A recent New Yorker article, in what it aptly brands a "war on consumer protection," chronicles Johnson & Johnson maneuver to avoid liability for harm caused by its dangerous talc-based baby powder. Read the full article below.

The company has spent billions on cases about one of its most popular products. As its executives try a brazen new legal strategy to stop the litigation, corporate America takes note.
