Defended the nation’s largest gas utility in a five-week major personal injury trial.
Paul Loh, Eileen Ahern, and Jason Wilson staved off punitive damages in the case involving a residential gas fire and explosion in which the plaintiff suffered severe second-degree burns throughout his body and allegedly sustained traumatic brain injury.
