Chris Robinson provided an expert report, deposition, and trial testimony on behalf of defendant Miraca Life Sciences, Inc. in a wrongful termination suit. The jury awarded the plaintiff less than $1 million, reflecting the exact amount Mr. Robinson calculated and presented at trial, and a substantially lower figure than was put forth by the plaintiff‘s damages expert.
Mr. Robinson was retained by Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. on behalf of Miraca to provide expert analysis and quantify damages to the plaintiff. Mr. Robinson provided testimony and was cross-examined in a nearly two-week jury trial in Nashville, Tennessee in December 2024.
The jury agreed with Mr. Robinson’s testimony, awarding the plaintiff the exact amount Mr. Robinson calculated — less than $1 million — and rejected the plaintiff expert’s significantly higher damages calculations.
