    Jury Finds Against Freightliner in Record Verdict

    Filed under: personal injury law, business, Fraud — @ 10:53 pm

    An OR jury ruled that the truck maker Freightliner made fraudulent attempts to avoid legal obligations by shifting assets among its divisions. They determined the company should pay a minimum of $488 million to a rival truck maker and added a $350 million punitive damage award for acting with “malice” and “bad motive.” The punitive damage award is believed to be the largest in state history.
