Proven verdicts and settlements
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.
