Campbell Conroy & O’Neil Obtains Summary Judgment in American Family Mutual Insurance Company v. Omega Flex, Inc.

March 2021

Bill Conroy, Lynne Ingram, Kate Wang, and Erin Grewe obtained summary judgment on all of plaintiffs’ claims in Mark Shanley, Amy Shanley, and American Family Mutual Insurance Company v. Omega Flex, Inc. pending before the Honorable Stephen L. Crocker in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. In that case, plaintiffs asserted strict liability and negligence claims against Omega Flex relating to flexible gas piping it manufactured. The Court concluded that plaintiffs could not establish causation where Omega Flex’s product was improperly installed and plaintiffs’ retained expert could not determine to a reasonable degree of certainty whether proper installation would have prevented the fire.
