Portland personal injury lawyer Aaron DeShaw's $77.5 million record verdict in M.M. & N.S. v. Nicolopoulos has been named to the Top 100 list of jury verdicts of all types of civil cases for 2023 by VerdictSearch a division of ALM and Law.com
The verdict was also named in the Top 20 personal injury verdicts in the United States in 2023 and the Top 10 auto jury verdicts in the United States in 2023. This is the case despite the Insurance Research Council citing Oregon as having the 7th lowest case outcomes in the United States.
Our firm obtained the highest below the knee amputation verdict in US history in this drunk driving and dram shop case. This case highlights our record setting verdicts handling amputation cases and our experience handling legal cases against drunk drivers and bars that serve customers who are visibly intoxicated.
No other Oregon lawyer has achieved a compensatory damage verdict of this size in a personal injury case. The jury of Oregonians sent a clear message that drunk driving, and bars overserving clearly intoxicated customers, will not be allowed to injure Oregonians without consequences.
