A King County jury awarded $13.5 million to the widow and children of Robert Conner, a Longview Fibre paper mill electrician who developed mesothelioma from asbestos exposure and died in March 2024. The jury found Union Carbide, which sold raw asbestos, and two corporate predecessors of Elementis Chemicals, which delivered that asbestos to the mill, negligent, and found that the negligence of both was a significant factor in causing Conner's injury. The verdict split $5.5 million to Conner's estate, $5 million to his widow Dorothy Conner, and $3 million to their children. Plaintiffs were represented by the Seattle firm Oslund Udo Little.
A King County jury found on August 4, 2023 that Dr. Kristine Brecht and her Burien clinic committed medical negligence, failed to obtain informed consent, and violated Washington's Consumer Protection Act, and judgment was entered for $13,034,186. Division One of the Court of Appeals affirmed on July 21, 2025.
A King County jury found Volkswagen liable for selling brake parts that exposed a Spokane Volkswagen mechanic to unwarned asbestos, causing his fatal mesothelioma. The jury awarded $5.75 million in December 2022, which the trial court reduced to $4.7 million. The Washington Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment against both Volkswagen Group of America and its German parent company in September 2024, rejecting challenges to the verdict, the denied jury instructions, and personal jurisdiction over the parent. Volkswagen Group of America did not seek further review and acknowledged that the judgment against it would stand regardless of its parent's petition to the state Supreme Court, which denied review in early 2025.
