Here is a preview of the verdicts detailed in the January issue of the Mississippi Jury Verdict Reporter:
- $600,000 verdict- Jackson federal court First Amendment / retaliation case discussed here and here (overturning verdict) (10/2/14);
- $20,757 verdict- Harrison County car wreck case, but with 10% fault to plaintiff (10/9/14);
- $250 verdict- DeSoto County car wreck case (9/4/14);
- defense verdict- Hinds County silica products liability case (12/15/14);
- defense verdict- Gulfport federal court premises liability case (12/17/14);
- defense verdict- Greenville federal court national origin discrimination case (11/24/14); and
- directed verdict- Aberdeen federal court breach of contract case (10/28/14).
My Take:
Another good month for defendants.
And another example of the fact that litigation is slow in Mississippi.
