As it continues to expand its legal analytics into new practice areas, Lex Machina is today announcing the addition of analytics for federal product liability litigation. The new module is the largest expansion of the platform to date, it says, encompassing nearly 500,000 cases pending since 2009, including 158,000 open cases.
Since launching with its initial focus on intellectual property and its acquisition by LexisNexis, Lex Machina has added modules for securities, antitrust, commercial litigation, employment and bankruptcy.
