About Wagstaff Law Firm
Wagstaff Law Firm is a Denver-based national mass tort and complex litigation firm founded in 2010 by trial attorney Aimee Wagstaff (originally as Andrus Wagstaff). Firm attorneys have held court-appointed leadership roles in more than a dozen MDLs and JCCPs, most notably the federal Roundup litigation, where Aimee Wagstaff was lead trial counsel in Hardeman v. Monsanto, the only federal Roundup trial, which produced a unanimous $80.2 million verdict in 2019 and helped catalyze settlements exceeding $11 billion. The firm litigates dangerous drug, medical device, pesticide, and consumer product cases nationwide, and has increasingly focused on representing survivors of institutional sexual abuse against school districts, religious institutions, and youth organizations.
Proven verdicts and settlements won by Wagstaff Law Firm
A Denver jury awarded $67,349,380 in July 2024 after a seven-month-old suffered permanent brain damage when a cardiothoracic surgeon accidentally tied off the infant's aorta during open-heart surgery and the perfusionists failed to detect the resulting loss of blood flow for more than seven hours.
Edwin Hardeman, 70, sprayed Roundup on his Sonoma County property for about 26 years and was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2015. In the first federal Roundup bellwether trial, a unanimous San Francisco jury found in March 2019 that the herbicide was a substantial factor in his cancer and that Monsanto failed to warn, awarding $5,267,634 in compensatory damages and $75 million in punitive damages. Judge Vince Chhabria cut the punitive award to $20 million as constitutionally excessive, leaving a $25,267,634 judgment. The Ninth Circuit affirmed in May 2021 and the U.S. Supreme Court denied Monsanto's petition in June 2022.
