Ten of 21 plaintiffs who sued a now-defunct Phoenix body donation company will be awarded $58 million, a Maricopa County Superior Court jury decided.
PHOENIX – Ten of 21 plaintiffs who sued a now-shuttered Phoenix body donation company will be awarded $58 million, a Maricopa County Superior Court jury decided Tuesday.“This is a landmark verdict,” said Michael Burg, an attorney for the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs said Gore was deceptive for not telling donors that their bodies would be cut up into pieces and sold to middlemen. In some cases, the bodies were used for ballistics testing and as crash test dummies. Gore started his company in 2004 and never set out to defraud anyone, his lawyer Timothy O'Connor said during closing arguments.
Organ donation involves transplanting organs into living humans, and donors may sign up to do that through the Donor Network of Arizona or check the appropriate box through the Arizona Department of Transportation's Motor Vehicle Division when ordering a duplicate driver's license/identification card.
