Article Authored by Angela Higgins on Innovator-Liability Published in DRI "For the Defense"
The April 2018 edition of DRI’s monthly magazine “For the Defense” includes an article written by Baker Sterchi Cowden & Rice Member Angela Higgins titled, “A Possible Perfect Storm: The Reanimated Innovator-Liability Theory.” The eight-page article explores how the innovator liability theory – a theory pursued by plaintiffs who contend that a manufacturer of a brand-name drug owes a tort duty to warn of supposed dangers shared in common with a generic formulation of the innovator’s branded drug, once considered dead - has been revitalized by recent court decisions.
