Chrysler Ordered to Pay $20 Million to Mesothelioma Victim
November 22, 2006 – A New York jury ordered DaimlerChrysler AG to pay $20 Million to a 73-year-old, former brake repairman. The jury ruled that DaimlerChrysler acted with reckless disregard, making DaimlerChrysler liable for 80% of a total verdict of $25 Million. The victim was diagnosed with mesothelioma approximately two years ago.
The jury also found that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were each 10% liable for the mesothelioma victim’s injuries. Both companies previously settled with the plaintiff for undisclosed amounts.
The plaintiff worked with auto brake linings that contained asbestos from 1960 to 1981. The brake linings were made by the defendant corporations.
DaimlerChrysler stated after the trial that they will appeal the verdict.
