Increasingly, “no injury” class action lawsuits are getting attention from the Plaintiffs’ Bar and U.S. courts. Plaintiff classes allege harmful exposures without present physical injuries and seek money to monitor their medical conditions. There is a fundamental shift of the law, veering from compensation for actual injury to compensation for possible exposure. This webinar will discuss these types of claims in depth and discuss whether exposure to a harmful substance justifies a bodily injury claim. Attorney William Savino of Rivkin Radler will review some of these challenging and unique medical monitoring claims and associated insurance coverage issues.

William M. Savino serves as Rivkin Radler’s Managing Partner and is Chair of the Firm’s Executive Committee.

Mr. Savino's practice concentrates on commercial and insurance coverage litigation and related counseling. He has litigated before trial and appellate courts throughout the United States, and has represented certain insurers in the September 11 World Trade Center Liability Coverage Litigation; the BPA-Plastic Products Coverage Litigation and Shell Oil Company v. Aetna Casualty and Surety Company. He has served as counsel for insurers in the defense of class actions involving interest charges and numerous insurance coverage claims and suits ranging from intellectual property liabilities and business torts to national environmental, antitrust and fiduciary claims.

An active speaker across the United States, Mr. Savino has recently presented workshops on medical monitoring "no injury" suits, privacy, terrorism-related liabilities and the relationship between primary and excess insurers.
