Court/Case No:  Midland County Circuit Court / Case No. 10-7275 NO

Tried/Argued Before: Jury

Demand: $750,000

Verdict: No Cause for Action

Name of Judge(s): Jonathan Lauderbach

Keys to the Case:

This was a No Cause for Action on claims for negligence and breach of contract, after all other counts were dismissed on motions in limine or motions for directed verdict. Expert testimony supported defenses with regard to standard of care and causation. Defense experts proved more persuasive with regard to the client’s conformity with industry standards and with regard to if Plaintiff could support her personal injury claim (being claimed respiratory injury subsequent to an acute exposure to ozone, from an ozone generator used to deodorize a home after a fire).
