C.H. Robinson Ordered to Pay $604M in Advisory Verdict
In a regulatory filing, C.H. Robinson Worldwide disclosed that on July 23, a jury in Dallas County, Texas issued an advisory verdict against the company and two other defendants in a lawsuit related to a trucking accident involving an independent motor carrier. The verdict awarded compensatory damages of $604M, which could be assessed against the company. "The advisory verdict remains subject to post-trial proceedings before the court enters a final verdict. The company disagrees with the jury's advisory verdict and expects to appeal if the jury's verdict is entered as final," the filing stated.
