- In the final episode of our three-part "Beating Goliath" series, the jury finds that Tom was not at fault for his injury and awards him $12.2 million in compensation. They also find that the defendant company, GES, acted with reckless indifference and impose $3 million in punitive damages on the company. However, six months later, a judge overturns the punitive damages. With the help of appellate lawyer Bob Black, Tom’s legal team appeals the decision. , Beating Goliath Podcast - Episode 3, 2021

They have discovered that GES has a history of using forklift drivers who aren’t properly certified, which would support their claim that GES prioritizes speed over safety. , Beating Goliath Podcast - Episode 2, 2021
