UPS has filed a legal malpractice suit in federal court in Philadelphia against the law firm of Salmon, Ricchezza, Singer & Turchi, also naming three specific attorneys.
Salmon Ricchezza had handled UPS's defense against a personal injury lawsuit filed by an employee of Air Transport International Inc. (ATI) who worked at the UPS terminal in the Philadelphia airport. That suit ended up settling for $5.5 million plus attorney fees totaling more than $170,000 with a different law firm. UPS is seeking to recoup those costs as well as "punitive damages as a result of defendants' outrageous conduct," according to its complaint.
