Trial Experience
Samuel G. Jackson,
Jr. heads up JACKSON & ASSOCIATES trial team. Following
is a list of some of our more recent employment and other
tort-related trials:
- White v. Family Restaurants
- Los Angeles County Superior Court - This case alleged
race discrimination in a public accommodation (a restaurant).
The plaintiff was a movie star and his attorney was a high
profile plaintiff's attorney. The jury rendered a defense
verdict in favor of our client.
- Torres v. Kodak - Los Angeles County Superior
Court. This case alleged discrimination based on national
origin and sought punitive damages. After a trial lasting
several weeks, the jury reached a defense verdict in favor
of our client.
- Eidem v. Clorox - Superior Court for State
of California. This case alleged age and disability discrimination.
The jury's verdict awarded plaintiff approximately one-third
of the amount which defendant had offered before trial.
- Lamb v. Chrysler - Orange County Superior
Court - In this products liability (seat belt failure) case,
plaintiff alleged serious closed head/neuropsychological
injuries. After a six-week trial, and only two hours of
deliberation, the jury returned a defense verdict.
- Comstock, et al. v. Chevron Land and Development
- U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
This environmental matter was brought pursuant to federal
statutes. It was a bench trial that settled after all of
the evidence had been presented, but before the judge issued
an official verdict.
- Kirkland and Porter v. Unex, et al. - Los
Angeles County Superior Court. Unex Corporation manufactured
a piece of industrial equipment in this products liability/personal
injury matter. The plaintiffs were injured in an industrial
explosion and fire and alleged serious physical injuries
as well as post-traumatic stress disorder. After a two-month
trial, the jury entered a defense verdict in favor of our
client and an award in favor of our client on a cross-complaint
for indemnity.
