court entering judgment for $28.1 million. This
case was the first jury trial in Colorado to award
the cost of cleaning up the contamination as part
of the damages. In Orjias et al. v. Louisiana-Pacific,
a three week trial resulted in the March 1992
jury verdict for $2.3 million, including $1.8
million in punitive damages for families in Olathe
who lived next to a waferboard facility which
emitted formaldehyde, MDI and wood particulates.

on behalf of an owner of industrial property located
next to the Leyden Underground Natural Gas Storage
facility operated by Public Service Company.
