A San Francisco Superior Court jury awarded $10.3 million in economic and non-economic damages Monday in an asbestos case brought by a 60-year-old man allegedly suffering from mesothelioma. Jeffrey Kaiser of San Francisco plaintiffs firm Levin Simes Kaiser & Gornick said it's a big verdict for his relatively new firm, and that he thinks it's one of California's 10 largest compensatory verdicts for asbestos cases in the last 15 years. Even in the best scenario, however, plaintiff George Barnes won't collect nearly that much. The jury only attributed 15 percent of the harm to Thorpe Insulation Co., the lone named defendant at trial. By the time Judge Diane Wick makes a final ruling on the company's liability, Barnes will probably only be entitled to about $2.3 million from Thorpe, Kaiser said.
