The husband ate microwave popcorn every day for 20\u00a0years. They alleged that the products caused him to develop the lung disease bronchiolitis obliterans.<\/p>\n<p>At trial, the experts disagreed about what caused the husband\u2019s sickness. Both the plaintiffs and the defendants had a number of expert witnesses who testified about his sickness and its likely cause. One of the defendant\u2019s experts was a doctor who testified about articles that were not provided to the plaintiffs for review. The plaintiff\u2019s lawyer objected, arguing that the witness could not testify about facts about which\u00a0the plaintiffs did not have information. He argued that the plaintiffs could not adequately prepare for such testimony, and the testimony was unfair. The judge agreed, and the expert\u2019s testimony was stricken. Accordingly, the judge instructed the jury to ignore the testimony they had heard from the expert. The trial continued, and the jury found in favor of the defendant.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/attorney-fails-make-timely-objection-judgment-product-liability-case-must-stand\/#more-634\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even when individuals have a valid claim, a lawyer\u2019s missteps can have serious consequences for their clients.
