Several Million Dollar Recovery For First Documented Sick Building Case In Washington, DC
We represented, with co-counsel, Federal employees working in a downtown DC office building in one of the first suits filed in the United States involving “sick building syndrome.” The case involved multiple defendants. Industrial hygienists, engineers, and medical specialists were retained on behalf of the injured parties to testify as experts. The case was tried for six weeks before a District of Columbia jury. The case ultimately was resolved for several million dollars.
