Big WinsA San Bernardino jury decisively rejected the plaintiff’s $4.29 million demand after a two-week trial. Trial partner Michael Kowalski and senior associate Elda Rosales-Calixto led the defense, dismantling the plaintiff’s claims in a motor vehicle case where liability was admitted but causation and damages were disputed. The jury awarded less than 1.5% of the plaintiff’s request and returned a full defense verdict on the minor plaintiff’s claim.
Litigation PowerhouseAfter an eight-week trial, a San Bernardino County jury returned a defense verdict for our client, a pest control company, rejecting the plaintiff's $23 million claim. The jury found no link between the alleged negligence and the plaintiff’s injuries. WSHB’s trial team, led by partner Ranjan Lahiri and associate Cecilia Torello, delivered this strong result.
