Victim: 51-year-old man
Injury: Death
Verdict: $53.5 Million
Lawyers:  Perry Weitz

Asbestos. A 51-year-old man died after he was exposed to asbestos. Attorney Perry Weitz of Weitz & Luxenberg argued that the corporation involved designed and manufactured products containing asbestos, that they knew of the danger of asbestos exposure and failed to properly warn of that danger and that their negligence resulted in this man's death. The corporation claimed they weren't responsible. The victim's grieving wife and two adult children were awarded $53,500,000 for their loss.
