NOVATO, California, 12 de agosto de 2024 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Hoy, en un artículo publicado por el Daily Journal, los socios de Brayton Purcell LLP James Nevin, Gilbert Purcell y los abogados Daniel Morse y Gabriela Monoz-Gomez fueron presentados en su representación del demandante de 34 años Gustavo Reyes González en un caso histórico concluido esta semana en un tribunal del condado de Los Ángeles. El caso resultó en una decisión a favor del señor Reyes González en la que se le otorgaron más de $ 50 millones en daños y perjuicios.

El artículo señala que los demandados incluían a más de 30 fabricantes y distribuidores de piedra artificial. Muchos acusados resolvieron antes del veredicto, sin embargo, Caesarstone usa, Cambria y Color Marble optaron por proceder y no presentaron ninguna oferta de acuerdo. Los abogados de Brayton Purcell LLP, junto con los abogados adjuntos Raphael Metzger y Scott Brust del Metzger Law Group, argumentaron con éxito que los acusados son responsables de la silicosis acelerada fatal de Reyes González.

El abogado James Nevin declaró "Estos tres acusados querían probar sus defensas y su defensa era esencialmente culpar por completo al inquilino del taller de fabricación poco sofisticado y al trabajador del taller de fabricación poco sofisticado, la persona con silicosis, en este caso, Gustavo Reyes. Y descubrieron que la defensa no funcionaba ".

Un resumen del artículo está aquí:

  • Un jurado de Los Ángeles evaluó $ 52 millones en un caso en el que los fabricantes y proveedores de losas de piedra artificial fueron declarados responsables de la silicosis acelerada de un trabajador de fabricación, una enfermedad pulmonar mortal.
  • Los jurados asignaron la responsabilidad por las lesiones de Reyes González a Caesarstone usa, Cambria y Color Marble
  • Este caso es significativo ya que es el primer veredicto relacionado con productos de piedra artificial, sentando un precedente para futuros litigios. James Nevin dijo: "Se consideró un caso emblemático, porque es el primero de muchos cientos, si no miles".
  • El veredicto destaca la negligencia de la industria, las advertencias inadecuadas y la posibilidad de más litigios.
  • El resultado puede conducir a cambios en las prácticas y regulaciones de la industria con respecto a los productos de piedra artificial.
