Proven verdicts and settlements
A Massachusetts jury awarded $7.55 million to Gerald Sylvestre, a former New Hampshire power plant worker who developed mesothelioma after repeated exposure to asbestos insulation installed by a Canton distributor, in what was then reported as the largest asbestos verdict in New England history.
A Middlesex County jury awarded $6.8 million to Amy Ross and her two daughters after finding New England Insulation Company liable for the mesothelioma death of her husband Timothy, who had been exposed to asbestos dust doing part-time insulator work around Boston as a teenager and young adult.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
