Valdiviez v. Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC, No. A-1-CA-36671, 2023 WL 5427953 (N.M. Ct. App. Aug. 23, 2023)

Successfully convinced the New Mexico Court of Appeals to reverse the trial court’s dismissal for lack of personal jurisdiction in a wrongful death product liability case, holding that, under Ford Motor Co. v. Mont. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 141 S. Ct. 1017 (2021), the fatal accident was sufficiently related to Bridgestone’s New Mexico contacts.
