Welding-rod Cases Score Wins, but Also Draw Flak

"Recent developments in welding-rod cases in three state courts suggest that the demise of this litigation is not imminent, despite an Ohio hearing set for this week on whether to sanction plaintiffs' counsel for filing two allegedly questionable federal cases. Plaintiffs' verdicts were recently upheld by intermediate appellate courts in Illinois and New York, and the Maryland high court was the first to hold that an insurer's pollution exclusion does not shield it from a duty to defend and indemnify a welding-rod defendant. About 10,000 such cases are pending in state and federal courts nationwide." Peter Geier, National Law Journal, 2/13/06
