Yesterday a New York Jury after months of trial days handed dwon a $35 million dollar mesothelioma Verdict against Crane Co which was assesed a 15 % percent share. The jury also found that Crane Co acted recklessly riases the probability that it will have to pay more than 15 % of the verdict. When the trial began, there were a umber of other defendants who settled along the way which turned out to be the smart thing to do. Crongratulations to my colleagues Jerry Kristal and Dan Kraft for the great job they did.
