Law 360 reports that “a Florida jury slammed Georgia-Pacific LLC with a $9.4 million verdict in a construction worker’s lawsuit alleging his work with the company’s asbestos-containing products in Saudi Arabia decades ago caused him to develop a deadly form of cancer, finding the company had negligently marketed a defective product.” According to the article, “the jury in Miami set the total amount of damages at $17 million, but found Georgia-Pacific bears 55 percent of the blame for plaintiff Roy Taylor’s terminal mesothelioma, and Taylor himself was 15 percent responsible.”

From the news release of the American Association for Justice.
