Increasingly, defense counsel are fighting back, insisting that a plaintiff demonstrate they have properly preserved electronic records that may serve as potential evidence.  For an individual consumer, accident victim, or employee as plaintiff, that can be hazardous since their focus is rarely on records management and preservation.

Of course, the trigger date always occurs earlier for the plaintiff since they certainly know when litigation has become "reasonably foreseeable."  But counsel often fails to think about this issue early in the engagement.  So, how can a plaintiff avoid sanctions for any failures to preserve ESI?  And what about their lawyer?
