A mesothelioma diagnosis often arrives decades after the asbestos exposure that caused it, and it leaves patients and families with hard questions and very little time. Whether the exposure happened at a Twin Cities power plant, a taconite operation on the Iron Range, a rail yard near Duluth, a job site in Rochester, or through a product used at home, we know how much depends on finding every company responsible. When you compare firms, look for attorneys who know Minnesota’s asbestos job sites, the manufacturers and suppliers behind asbestos products, and how mesothelioma cases move through Minnesota courts. Our attorneys have represented people with asbestos diseases since 1972, and the results below are some of the outcomes we have reached for Minnesotans. Each case is unique and damages can vary in each case. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed, we invite you to ask us about your own circumstances.
In December 2025, a Ramsey County jury returned a $65.5 million verdict against Johnson & Johnson for a 37-year-old mother of three who developed peritoneal mesothelioma after Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder was used on her throughout her childhood. Over a 13-day trial in Ramsey County District Court, jurors heard evidence that the company kept selling talc products despite knowing talc could be contaminated with asbestos.
The client was primarily represented by Ben Braly of Dean Omar Branham Shirley, and Attorney Chad Alexander of our firm was part of the trial team. The entire verdict was compensatory, and the trial attorneys believe it is the largest asbestos-related verdict in Minnesota history.
In May 2026, a Ramsey County jury awarded $10.2 million to a Twin Cities father and his wife. He had spent decades using store-brand body, baby and foot powders made with asbestos-contaminated talc, and he was diagnosed with mesothelioma in late 2024 at age 43. He testified at trial from a wheelchair while relying on oxygen.
The jury found that Vi-Jon LLC and four co-defendants made their talc products in a defective and unreasonably dangerous condition, failed to warn consumers, and caused his mesothelioma. Attorney Chad Alexander tried the case as co-counsel alongside Shaina Weissman and Holly Peterson of Simon Greenstone Panatier PC. The verdict is believed to be the second-largest mesothelioma verdict in Minnesota history.
