Peter Logan Named Northern California Super Lawyer

Peter Logan, the President and founder of Logan Law Group, P.C., has been recognized as a Northern California Super Lawyer.  This designation is the result of a comprehensive selection process designed to identify those attorneys in Northern California who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.  Only the top 5 percent of the lawyers practicing in Northern California are accorded this honor.

Each year, Law & Politics magazine sends ballots to approximately 46,000 attorneys in Northern California who have been in practice for 5 or more years asking them to nominte the best lawyers they have personally seen in action.  Nominees are screened and evaluated by the magazine's attorney-led research team as well as by a Blue Ribbon panel of the top nominees in each practice category.  The final list of Super Lawyers is published in a special section of San Francisco magazine as well as in Northern California Super Lawyers magazine and can be found on the internet at http://www.superlawyers.com.

Mr. Logan has been practicing law in California since 1978 and has served as President of Logan Law Group, P.C. since 2004.  He specializes in civil litigation with an emphasis on personal injury, product liability, professional liability, general casualty, commercial, construction, and insurance coverage litigation.

Medical Malpractice

Statute of Limitations for Product Liability Claim is Tolled Until Medical Malpractice Plaintiff Discovers Defect: On May 10, 2005, the California Supreme Court held that the "discovery rule," which delays the accrual of a cause of action until a plaintiff has reason to suspect a factual basis for its elements, applies separately in actions involving both medical malpractice and products liability claims.  Fox v. Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., reported at http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/opinions/documents/S121173.PDF.  In doing so, the Court specifically disapproved the Court of Appeal decision in Bristol-Myers Squibb v. Superior Court (1995) 32 Cal.App.4th 959 where the court had concluded that the statute of limitations starts to run as to all potential defendants when the plaintiff has cause to sue any one of them.
