Congratulations to attorneys Rich Cook, Bryan Tisch, and Brandon Yosha on their recent $12.2 million verdict in Indianapolis, Indiana. Brandon Yosha covered the opening statement, the final argument on damages, and did the direct examination of the plaintiff’s wife. Brandon’s father, trial lawyer Louis Yosha, helped formulate the argument Brandon used in closing. Bryan Tisch covered the opening statement on liability, the plaintiff’s direct examination, and the expert witness’s direct examination. Rich Cook handled voir dire, the cross-examination of all of IPL’s witnesses, and the final argument on liability.
The total damages amount was $19,825,000 for the plaintiff, which was reduced to $11,895,000 because of a 40 percent liability reduction (30 percent fault was found against Sterling Boiler and 10 percent fault was found against the plaintiff). The total damages amount was $500,000 for the plaintiff’s wife’s loss of consortium claim, which was reduced to $300,000 because of the 40 percent fault reduction. The total verdict amount for the plaintiffs was $12.2 million.
