$64 Million Verdict
Cook County jury awards highest jury verdict in Illinois history
Horwitz, Horwitz and Associates, Ltd. (after five years of fighting AIG insurance and the “defense lawyer of the year”) obtained what was the largest personal injury individual jury verdict in Illinois history; $64 million dollars. Only one jury verdict for an individual in United States history (in New York for $66 million) was higher at the time. This record-setting verdict was $13 million dollars higher than the previous record verdict in Illinois of $51 million dollars.
The Case
After five years of litigation and a one-month long jury trial, a Cook County jury awarded local 393 IronWorker, Ron Bayer, $64 million dollars. The jury actually awarded Ron $80 million dollars, but found that he was 20% at fault and therefore, reduced the verdict to $64 million dollars. The case was captioned Ronald Bayer vs. Panduit Corporation 07 L 9877.
