Proven verdicts and settlements
A King County jury awarded Sherrie Holdsworth $16,674,097 against Scapa Waycross after her husband Kevan, a Camas paper mill worker, died of mesothelioma caused by the company's asbestos-containing dryer felts, the largest asbestos verdict in King County history.
Warren Wright, a contract foreman, was exposed to asbestos insulation at ExxonMobil's Ferndale, Washington refinery in 1979 and died of mesothelioma in 2015. His son sued, and a jury found ExxonMobil liable and awarded $4 million in 2019. After credits for settlements by other defendants, judgment was entered for $2.27 million. The Washington Supreme Court affirmed on August 3, 2023.
