1.2 Million Dollar Verdict Against Fisher Controls in Buffalo New York

After 5 weeks of trial against this no pay defendant, the jury returned a verdict of 1.5 million with a 5% share.  Fisher was found reckless which means under NY law the defendant is responsible for the entire verdict. This was an extremely difficult case with a 71 year old deceased and widowed mesothelioma client  – the plant he worked in had 17 tons of raw fiber shipped to it every year and pipe covering exposure.  

The next day the jury awarded 750,000 in punitive damages.

Congratulations to Jordan Fox who represented the plaintiff.
