› $150,000,000 verdict in personal injury case
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that a 2004 law imposing stricter rules on those suing for asbestos-related injuries can be applied to cases pending before the legislation was passed, a move that could frustrate thousands of people seeking claims.
A San Francisco jury awarded a $20 million verdict to Joan Mahoney, a 69-year-old woman with mesothelioma, and her husband, Daniel. The case was presided over by Judge Thomas Mellon in San Francisco County Superior Court. The judgement finds Georgia Pacific liable for the production of asbestos-containing joint compound used in construction. Mrs. Mahoney handled the material in her part-time work with the family construction business.
