Proven verdicts and settlements
John Mark Gillenwater, 42, was working the first runs of a new process to dry a chlorinated bleach compound at the Optima Belle plant in the Kanawha Valley. The dryer exploded with a force experts likened to two tons of TNT. A jury found the process should never have been run as designed and awarded his widow $15 million.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
