Firm Attorneys Defending Mercedes in Louisiana

Law360 reported on June 23, 2014, that plaintiffs in Dugas v. Mercedes-Benz USA LLC et al, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, “urged a Louisiana federal judge to certify a class action accusing Mercedes-Benz USA of making and selling allegedly defective engines in cars that risked consumers’ safety and required costly repairs.”

The suit seeks to certify a class of all Louisiana residents, beginning in 2004, who purchased Mercedes vehicles equipped with the allegedly defective engines.

Firm attorneys Gabe Crowson, Gary Hebert, and Woody Norwood have been defending Mercedes-Benz in this class action litigation, along with attorneys from Carroll Burdick & McDonough in San Francisco.
