Landmark Case Results
Record‑setting verdicts and settlements our clients have received.
| Amount | Case Type | Description | Location | Date | Attorney(s) | Media |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $8,000,000,000 | Pharmaceutical | Arnold & Itkin tried a case against Johnson & Johnson for failing to warn about a drug’s most damaging side effects: gynecomastia. Our skill, hard work, and dedication resulted in the third-largest jury verdict ever obtained for an individual plaintiff in the United States. | Philadelphia, PA | October 2019 | Jason Itkin | NBC, The New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, Forbes |
| $2,250,000,000 | Product Liability | Arnold & Itkin—working with our co‑counsel—won a record‑setting $2.25 billion verdict in our second Roundup trial against Bayer/Monsanto for our client, who developed non‑Hodgkin’s lymphoma after years of using the herbicide. The highly educated jury awarded $250 million in compensation and $2 billion in punitive damages after evidence showed Monsanto concealed internal findings that glyphosate causes cancer. | Philadelphia, PA | January 2024 |

| $2,065,000,000 | Product Liability | Arnold & Itkin secured a record‑setting $2.065 billion verdict—the largest single‑plaintiff injury award in Georgia—for a client who developed non‑Hodgkin’s lymphoma after two decades of Roundup use. The jury imposed sweeping compensatory and punitive damages after internal documents and expert testimony revealed Monsanto had concealed glyphosate’s cancer risks since the 1980s, choosing profit over public health. | Cobb County, GA | March 2025 |

| $860,000,000 | Work Accident | Arnold & Itkin took up the case of a woman who lost her daughter after a crane collapsed on her daughter’s apartment building. After nearly four years of delays, the defendant was forced to take responsibility. In the end, the jury saw through the company’s tactics and awarded our client a record-breaking $860 million verdict. | Dallas, TX | April 2023 | Jason Itkin | NBC, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, CBS |
| $557,000,000 | Train Accident | Arnold & Itkin won a half-a-billion-dollar verdict against one of the nation’s largest rail companies after train operators mercilessly struck our client despite knowing she was on the tracks. | Houston, TX | March 2023 |

| $411,687,387 | Work Accident | Arnold & Itkin won a record‑setting $411 million verdict—the largest single‑plaintiff injury award in Louisiana—for a young scaffold worker who was left paralyzed after a 20‑pound bar fell on his head at the Phillips 66 Lake Charles refinery. The jury imposed the historic damages after evidence showed Brock Services hid the incident and falsely accused the victim of exaggerating his life‑altering injuries. | Baton Rouge, LA | February 2025 |

| $222,000,000 | Work Accident | Arnold & Itkin won $222 million for a woman who lost her husband in an industrial accident caused by a faulty valve. We took the case to trial because the at-fault company refused to take responsibility. The jury saw through the corporate lies and double talk and rendered a verdict for $222 million in compensatory damages. | Fort Bend County, TX | June 2021 |

| $209,000,000 | Work Accident | Arnold & Itkin won a $209.2 million verdict for the family of a New Hampshire toolpusher who contracted fatal Hantavirus while working for Terra Energy in Colorado. The jury’s award followed proof that the company ignored written safety policies, let mouse infestations fester, concealed the virus danger, and offered the grieving family only $200,000 for their profound loss. | Colorado | September 2023 |
