A year after leaving the Cochran firm, Douglas was one of the lawyers in the biggest verdict of 1999 in the case of Patricia Anderson vs. General Motors. In the verdict, General Motors was ordered to pay a record price of $4.9 billion for damages when two women and four children were trapped inside a 1979 Chevrolet Malibu and the gas tank exploded on Christmas Eve of 1993
Shouldn't there be an article on this case? If this is the biggest payout ever awarded, doesn't that make it significant enough to have an article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.115.236.45 (talk) 19:08, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
