Lapointe v. AMACO Products, Inc. resulted in an $83 million jury verdict (approximately $93.6M with prejudgment interest) in Norfolk County Superior Court. The decedent, Judith LaPointe, developed mesothelioma allegedly from exposure to AMACO ceramic slip containing tremolite-contaminated talc (NYTAL 100HR) at Mohawk Ceramics, where her husband worked.
CMBG3 Law (successor post-trial counsel) filed motions for JNOV and New Trial. Our intelligence operation has produced -- analytical reports identifying critical weaknesses in plaintiff's expert testimony, citation inaccuracies in opposition briefing, preservation issues that may limit appellate arguments, and financial exposure modeling. Analysis is anchored by case file analysis with the majority of findings drawn from direct testimony and document review.
Key vulnerability: Plaintiff's primary causation expert (Dr. Jacqueline Moline) has a documented history of impeachable testimony — including false statements before Congress, reliance on a compromised study, and $133.5M in overturned verdicts on her methodology. The jury heard none of this impeachment evidence.
