WINTER 2008 PODCAST

WELCOME! And Happy New Year.

This is the Ricci~Leopold Winter Podcast for 2008. My name is Spencer Kuvin, a partner at Ricci~Leopold.

In this podcast, I will discuss midsize SUV's which perform worse than cars in some side crash tests. Injuries which may be caused or prevented by belt tension. Cars that don't crash. Finally the US Government intervenes in a case brought by Ricci~Leopold against Guidant Corporation.
