Proven verdicts and settlements
In 1972, an eight-year-old girl spent months in her family's Montgomery County, Maryland basement while her father applied and sanded a Georgia-Pacific joint compound during a home renovation. She developed mesothelioma decades later and died at 34, shortly after a jury awarded her and her husband $9,188,000, including $4,800,000 in non-economic damages. Georgia-Pacific appealed on causation and on whether Maryland's 1986 cap on non-economic damages limited the award. The Court of Special Appeals affirmed, and the Court of Appeals of Maryland affirmed again on June 11, 2002, holding that the cap did not apply because her exposure ended before the cap took effect.
