Included in The Sixth Edition of CrunchTime® for Torts
  • New coverage of the “value of a chance” issue: Can a medical-malpractice patient recover anything when there’s a less-than-50/50 chance that non-negligent treatment would have led to a better outcome? [Smith v. Providence Health & Services]
  • Expanded discussion of courts’ refusal to allow plaintiffs to recover for “pure economic loss,” including the California Supreme Court case holding that businesses whose profits were damaged by a toxic gas leak cannot recover anything if they did not also suffer some personal injury or property damage. [Southern California Gas Leak Cases]
  • Expanded coverage of the modern approach to the “both ways” rule for imputed contributory/comparative negligence, including the court’s refusal to apply the rule against owner-passengers of a vehicle who are injured due to the combined negligence of a third party and the driver of the owner’s vehicle. [Seaborne-Worsely v. Mintiens]
  • Expanded coverage of the duty to warn in prescription-drug product-liability suits, including whether a plaintiff can recover for inadequate labeling from the maker of the brand-name version of a drug, if the plaintiff actually took a generic version made by some other manufacturer. [T.H. v. Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp.]
  • New coverage of strict product-liability suits arising from Internet sales, including whether a company that merely supplies fulfillment services—and never takes title to the goods—can nonetheless be liable as a “seller” of the goods. [Oberdorf v. Amazon.com Inc.]

About the authors
Steven L. Emanuel

As a student at Harvard Law School, Steve Emanuel wrote concise outlines for his courses and sold them in the law school dining hall to his fellow students. His outlines were such an immediate hit that soon after graduation, Steve quit the practice of law and started his own company to publish the Emanuel ® Law Outlines series and other study-aid series he helped write. Over 2 million copies of study aids written by Steve have been sold. Steve is a member of the New York, Connecticut, Maryland, and Virginia bars, and has passed the California bar.
