That big trial in Judge Kathleen Delaney's courtroom that last week's open thread was buzzing about ended yesterday ... and it wasn't pretty for our friends over at ATMS. Plaintiff's attorneys David Fassett, Dennis Prince, and Theodore Williams landed a $13 Million verdict against defense counsel Bruce Alverson and Karie Wilson.
On a side note ... ATMS possibly has world's worst website. What year were those pictures taken?
Our tipsters say that plaintiff's counsel had a $1 Million OOJ on the table, but Alverson was shooting for a defense verdict. Ouch, $13 Million plus fees and costs has got to hurt. We don't see things looking up for ATMS associates anytime soon.
The facts have something to do with plaintiff having his leg run over by a heavy-haul truck that was transporting an excavator ... feel free to enlighten us in the comments.
The open thread has a pretty good play-by-play as to what went on throughout the week. Just ignore the tinfoil asshat ... we've already dispatched our black helicopters to his house. He was easy to find.
Meanwhile, let's all have a moment of silence for the poor young associate who will undoubtedly be ritually sacrificed in the basement of the ATMS building as a result of this loss.
Congratulations to the plaintiffs' bar!
(Thanks Tipsters!)
