Cody Berne, Keith Ketterling, Timothy DeJong, and Emily Johnson amongst other co-counsel lawyers rank #1 for their impressive verdicts.
Stoll Berne made the Courtroom View Network’s Top 10 Most Impressive Plaintiff Verdicts of 2023. The matter, James, et al. v. PacifiCorp, ranked #1 on the list and relates to the Oregon Labor Day 2020 wildfires. In a 2023 trial, a Multnomah County jury found PacifiCorp liable for causing the Labor Day fires, finding after a seven-week trial that the corporation acted negligently, grossly negligently, recklessly and willfully against the entire class, which PacifiCorp estimated included 5,000 people. The verdict also established that each subsequent damages award would be increased by 25% for punitive damages against the company.
