LAOSD Asbestos Cases CA4/12
A former gas station employee performed brake jobs in the 1960s and 1970s, at a time when all brake pads contained asbestos. He contracted mesothelioma, and sued several entities, including Ford Motor Company (Ford). Everyone but Ford settled. A jury awarded the employee and his spouse $8.5 million in compensatory damages, awarded the employee $25.5 million in punitive damages, and found that Ford was at fault for 100 percent of the employee’s injuries.
