Proven verdicts and settlements
Aaron Podhurst served as lead class counsel in a $410 million settlement resolving claims that Bank of America systematically manipulated the order of debit card transactions to drive up overdraft fees charged to more than 13 million customers.
After Cuban MiG fighters shot down two unarmed Brothers to the Rescue planes on February 24, 1996, killing four men, the families of three of the victims won a default judgment in Miami federal court. Judge James Lawrence King awarded $49.9 million in compensatory damages against Cuba and the Cuban Air Force and $137.7 million in punitive damages against the Air Force alone. The figure is a group result covering three families' separately itemized awards. The judgment stood, and about $93 million was later collected from frozen Cuban assets.
