Pritzker Olsen Attorney Appointed to Leadership Position
Attorney Eric Hageman
One of our attorneys, Eric Hageman, has been appointed to the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in the multi-district litigation over rollover accidents involving Rhino all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) made by Yamaha Motor Corp. This committee will be overseeing the litigation of Rhino rollover lawsuits throughout the United States.
The decision by U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer B. Coffman of the Western District of Kentucky reinforces PritzkerOlsen’s leadership position in the complex litigation that has stemmed from hundreds of serious rollover injuries and at least 46 driver and passenger deaths.
Many of the Rhino rollover lawsuits involve turns at relatively low speeds and on level terrain. The alleged Rhino rollover hazard has been investigated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the federal agency that oversees product recalls. CPSC has advised consumers not to use certain Yamaha Rhino ATVs until they are repaired under a recall program by the manufacturer. Read about the Yamaha Rhino recall.
By virtue of Hageman’s appointment to the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee, “we’re on the front lines of this litigation and in position to shape the outcome,” Hageman noted. He added, “It’s also recognition by the court that we have an important stake in this and that we know what we’re doing.”
Attorney Eric Hageman has significant litigation experience in state and federal courts. He has successfully tried numerous cases to juries in his career and has successfully argued appeals at both the state and federal level. In recognition of his accomplishments, Mr. Hageman has been named a “Super Lawyer” by Law & Politics, a publication dedicated to promoting excellence in the legal field, for five consecutive years, 2004 through 2008. He was named a “Rising Star” by Law & Politics every year from 1999 to 2004. He is also AV-rated by Martindale-Hubbell.
