More Than $4 Billion Won

There’s a reason that many consider Wisner Baum to be, quite simply, among the best in the business: Our attorneys have represented thousands of victims in some of the most complex litigation, securing over $4 billion in recovery for victims of serious, life-altering injuries. Our firm served as co-lead trial counsel in cases against agrochemical giant Monsanto Company (now part of Bayer) that resulted in two of the largest jury verdicts in recent history, worth a combined $2.344 billion upon initial judgment. The verdicts in Johnson v. Monsanto Co. and Pilliod et al. v. Monsanto Co. were hard-earned legal victories that will have a lasting impact not just for the plaintiffs and their families, but for public health and the environment too.

    In May of 2019, the jury in the case of Pilliod et al. v, Monsanto Company ordered the agrochemical giant to pay $2.055 billion in damages to the plaintiffs, Alva and Alberta Pilliod, a Bay Area couple in their 70s.
