Trial
10/10/24 – 10/23/24

Summary

The case is one of many involving similar claims against defendant.

Defendant concedes liability for the injuries, but contests the damage amount and contends that it should not be liable for punitive damages.

Including $230 million in compensatory damages and $5 billion in punitive damages.
