How much experience do you have with plaintiff law? In a product liability lawsuit, everyone gets sued all the way up and down the supply chain. And these aren’t cheap lawsuits, powerful and dee pocketed plaintiffs attorneys take these cases on contingency, especially against an ultra deep pocketed Apple.
Third party liability would absolutely ensnare Apple if a repair shop caused an exploding battery injury.
- JohnFen 7y ago> In a product liability lawsuit, everyone gets sued all the way up and down the supply chain. Everyone gets named initially, yes -- I've been named as a defendant in a lawsuit myself because I was in the supply chain involved with a product liability suit. But very early on, the defendants make the case to the judge about why they shouldn't be part of the lawsuit. That's what happened with me. It took about a month and cost me a couple of grand in attorney's fees. In a case such as what is being posited here, that's precisely what Apple would do, too.
