Settlements and Verdicts
ELSM has obtained nearly $5 billion dollars in total settlements on behalf of our clients.
The jury awards and settlements we have received for our clients are among the highest in the country. While ELSM focuses primarily on obtaining collectable settlements for our clients, the firm, working in collaboration with co-counsel partners, has achieved some significant verdicts in mesothelioma cases. Following are examples of just some of the verdicts:
| Verdict | Case Summary |
|---|---|
| $82 Million | A 67-year-old Washington state man’s wife was awarded $82 million dollars on behalf of her deceased husband who was diagnosed with mesothelioma. He was a frequent user of brakes and gaskets and other auto products from a popular auto parts maker. Co-counsel: Dean Omar Branham & Shirley |
| $52 Million | A California jury awarded a combined verdict of $52.1 million to a woman who was diagnosed with mesothelioma after years of using cosmetic products containing asbestos-contaminated talc. The woman was also found to have endured secondhand asbestos exposure from laundering her husband’s work clothes.
Co-counsel: Dean Omar Branham & Shirley |
| $27 Million | Punitive damages in the amount of $27 million dollars were awarded to a 74 year old South Carolina man who was diagnosed with mesothelioma after years of working with asbestos containing gaskets and packing in valves. Co-counsel: Simon Greenstone Panatier Bartlett |
| $20 Million | A Bridgeport, CT jury returned a verdict for $20 million in compensatory damages to the wife of a man diagnosed with mesothelioma. Her late husband was exposed to asbestos in the 1960s while working with asbestos-containing DAP “33” window glazing.
Co-counsel: Waters Kraus & Paul |
| $6 Million | A $6 million-dollar verdict was obtained for an Oklahoma man diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma. He was exposed to asbestos while working as a laborer and contractor at homebuilding sites and while doing brake and clutch repair as an auto mechanic. Co-counsel: Dean Omar Branham & Shirley |
