Langdon & Emison is pleased to announce the addition of associate attorney Connor Curran to its staff. Connor joins the firm after practicing law nearly two years with a civil defense firm in Jefferson City, Mo.  

The Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys has continued its Balance the Scales initiative, which includes an open letter writing campaign that citizens can contribute their name to if they wish.  Balance the Scales collects stories from throughout the state that showcase some of the harms to consumers that "tort reform" legislation can bring.  This campaign is primarily communicated through social media, and is at its heart a project dedicated to preserving the Civil Justice System.

This fall marked the 20th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court argument in Baker v. General Motors, and a news piece that aired this fall on several broadcast affiliates takes a look at this precedential case.  Baker was a Langdon & Emison victory described as influential in the law because it provided an answer to the question of whether expert testimony could be called upon from former employees. 

Langdon & Emison has released its newest edition of its quarterly newsletter, available for free download here on our web site.  Our firm newsletter is mailed out to attorneys and clients nationwide, and intends to educate a general audience about issues in plaintiff's personal injury litigation, as well as consumer hazards in contemporary society.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has released its 2017 Pocket Guide to Large Truck and Bus Statistics. The guide is a compilation of data from the overall state of the industry to enforcement activity.  The Pocket Guide incorporates and replaces the one-page data summaries, “Commercial Motor Vehicle Facts,” which were published occasionally over the past 10 years.
