Bell Nunnally attorneys Katie Beaird and Mason G. Jones secured a full defense verdict for a national transportation company being sued by a former employee after a multi-day, expert heavy arbitration. The former employee alleged that his working conditions in a commercial paint booth caused him to inhale toxic levels of paint and resulted in him developing an epileptic seizure disorder. Claimant sought a multi-million-dollar award, alleging his epileptic seizure disorder disabled him from working or living a normal life ever again. 

Beaird, Jones and their team of safety and medical experts defeated the claimant’s allegations at every element, showing the company’s paint equipment to be above industry standard and establishing that there was no medical evidence to link the paint booth to the claimant’s seizures. The arbitrator’s order provided a resounding victory for the company.
