Cory Watson Attorneys

Cory Watson's Jon Conlin, a co-lead lawyer on the plaintiffs' steering committee, helped drive DuPont and Chemours to a $670.7 million global settlement resolving about 3,550 C-8 water-contamination cancer and injury claims.

A federal jury in Columbus found that DuPont's C-8 contamination caused Travis Abbott's testicular cancer and awarded him and his wife $50 million. After the trial court applied Ohio's cap on his wife's loss-of-consortium damages, the enforceable judgment came to about $40.3 million, which the Sixth Circuit later affirmed.

A Los Angeles jury found a defective brake sensor in a 2004 Infiniti QX56 caused the 2012 Hollywood crash that killed a mother and her two daughters, and the $25 million verdict was later upheld on appeal.

A Columbus federal jury awarded Kenneth Vigneron Sr. $2 million in compensatory and $10.5 million in punitive damages after finding DuPont's C-8 contamination caused his testicular cancer.

A Birmingham jury awarded $10 million to the family of Angela McCall, a 34-year-old mother of three struck and killed by a speeding driver who pulled a gun on witnesses and then fled the scene.

A Lee County jury awarded the family of 20-year-old Auburn University student Hope Johnson $9 million, a county record, after urgent care doctors missed the blood clots that killed her.

A Columbus federal jury awarded David Freeman $5.1 million for testicular cancer tied to DuPont's C-8 water contamination and found the company acted with malice, adding $500,000 in punitive damages.

An Ohio federal jury found DuPont liable for Carla Bartlett's kidney cancer and awarded her $1.6 million, the first of thousands of C-8 drinking water cases to reach trial.
