Top Ten Jury Verdicts of 2006: $38.5 million total verdict in product liability case
Plaintiffs' attorneys: Chip [Chip Ferguson] and Chris Coco of Provost & Umphrey in Beaumont, Texas. In an effort to explain why there had been no regulation, Ferguson and Coco used a former employee of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), who testified about the strong lobby the industry has in Washington, D.C. and how much influence the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA) wields. Experts offered conflicting evidence on the plaintiff's lifespan. One said the plainitff could live another 50 years, another said another 25 years was more likely. Ferguson and Coco told the jury a verdict of $50 million would compensate for her injuries and her daughters' loss of consortium.
