BIG DAY in the Court of Appeals

By Jeb Butler |

November 15, 2016

Today the Georgia Court of Appeals AFFIRMED the Superior Court of Decatur County’s judgment in Walden v. Chrysler, the case that Butler Kahn tried with Butler, Wooten & Peak in 2015. The trial resulted in a verdict of $150,000,000 and was remitted to $40,000,000.

This is a great result for brave, wonderful clients. And it will teach automakers a lesson about selling recklessly-designed vehicles that put American families at risk.
