Proven verdicts and settlements
On February 27, 2026, a Los Angeles jury found the former Mole-Richardson company 100 percent liable for the mesothelioma of George Stephenson, an 80-year-old Army veteran and Hollywood cameraman exposed to asbestos in studio lighting equipment. The jury also found malice. It awarded non-economic damages only, after Stephenson waived economic damages. The case resolved before the punitive phase was completed.
