This weekend didn't disappoint the 290k+ veterans in line to collect on 3M! The Wilkerson jury came back yesterday with an $8 million verdict, and this was a 3M plaintiff. Looks like the arguments presented by 3M are falling flat and a global settlement is on the horizon.
AVERAGE SETTLEMENT PER PLAINTIFF IS NOW - $24,443,591
The jury just awarded Luke Vilsmeyer $50 million in purely compensatory damages! Another game changing verdict for plaintiffs that is sure to drive settlement amounts in these cases north. It proves that the $110 million verdict was not a one-off. Big verdicts are now the norm!
This stunning award marks three consecutive verdict that were more than $50 million. This case was tried under Indiana law so there were no punitive damages available. Punitive damages is what drove the Sloan/Wayman verdicts, at $110 million.
Another 3M earplug trial starts today. You would think 3M will start to talk about reasonable settlement amounts before taking any more verdicts like the past 5 verdicts.
