Attorney Jason Itkin

In 2019, our firm—along with Thomas R. Kline at Kline and Specter—tried the very first punitive damages case against Johnson & Johnson for their drug Risperdal. The drug was originally developed to treat schizophrenia but was aggressively marketed off-label to children with autism and other behavioral disorders. Johnson & Johnson hid the dangerous side effect of its drug from the public, medical community, and F.D.A.

Our client was prescribed Risperdal and developed gynecomastia (female breast growth in boys). Our firm uncovered evidence that Johnson & Johnson knew about the link between their drug and gynecomastia, but didn’t turn it over to the FDA.

After a month-long trial, the jury returned with a verdict of $8 billion—the largest single-plaintiff jury verdict ever won in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and the third largest jury verdict every obtained for an individual in the United States.

On June 8, 2019, Kiersten Smith was making dinner in her apartment when a crane across the street fell onto her building. In a moment, she and her entire living room were gone. Kiersten’s mother called Arnold & Itkin once it was clear that the crane’s operators—a real estate developer called Greystar—were refusing to take responsibility for the crane collapse. After four years of shameless delay tactics, we took Greystar to court. In the end, the jury saw through Greystar and forced them to pay $860 million to our client for what they did.

Jesse died the next day. The faulty valve was traced back to Team Industrial Services, Inc., who denied responsibility until a jury heard the facts and ruled in our favor.

Attorneys Kurt Arnold, Jason Itkin, Noah Wexler, and Caj Boatright achieved a massive settlement on behalf of a large group of clients.

The firm is proud to announce the recent successful verdict that they won on behalf of their client, the victim of an ambulance accident. The plaintiff was seven months pregnant at the time of the accident (December 2010) when she was experiencing stomach pains and called for an ambulance. Acadian Ambulance picked her up a short time later to transport her to the hospital. What the woman didn't know and what Arnold & Itkin later proved was that the driver had a poor driving history and bad vision as well. While the ambulance was en route to the hospital, the driver dropped something on the floor and proceeded to pick it up. He took his eyes completely off of the road and did not slow down. As a result, the ambulance collided with the back of a sugar cane truck. The woman suffered a severed spine and serious brain injuries as a result.

She will never be able to walk again, and is permanently confined to the wheelchair. Also incredibly unfortunate is that her baby was born prematurely. Our client's baby and her other daughter were forced to live with the client's mother because she could no longer care for them with her disability. At the time the verdict was reached, the woman had already had to spend $1.4 million in medical bills. Throughout the course of the rest of her life, her medical bills are estimated to reach $30 million. The $117 million verdict is going toward the medical bills for the mother as well as all possible medical treatments needed for the premature child, as health complications may arise. Part of the verdict was also because the plaintiff's two children will not be able to have a healthy mother who can take care of them, and the pain and suffering that the mother sustained in addition to her physical wounds.

Attorney Jason Itkin and the team of lawyers from Arnold & Itkin won an impressive $76.6 million jury verdict on behalf of a boy who suffered gynecomastia, or irregular female breast growth. The verdict came against Johnson & Johnson and Janssen Pharmaceutical for their drug, Risperdal. The team was also assisted by Cory Itkin and Santana McMurrey from the firm. Both Jason and Kyle provided representation for the boy’s family, bringing a lawsuit against J&J for failing to provide a proper warning that their antipsychotic medicine, Risperdal, could lead to the development of female breasts. This verdict will help ensure that J&J is held accountable for causing such devastating disfigurement to Arnold & Itkin’s client.

J&J and Janssen Pharmaceuticals tried to argue that because their drug was the only drug that worked for the boy, he continued to stay on the drug—even though he was informed of the potential risks. They also tried to argue that Risperdal does not even cause gynecomastia, despite significant evidence that shows otherwise. Our team discovered pivotal evidence through careful cross-examination that was known in the case as “Tab 4.” It became crucial to our case and had never become public until the trial. This included scientific data that showed a clear link between Risperdal and the condition known as gynecomastia. Even though they had this information, J&J knowingly kept this evidence secret, hiding it from the FDA and burying it from scientific studies.

The Philadelphia jury found that Johnson & Johnson was guilty of falsifying, concealing, and/or destroying evidence. After just 11 days of trial, they unanimously agreed that J&J failed to warn of the side effects of Risperdal, thus causing our client to develop gynecomastia. They awarded our client $76.6 million—the largest single verdict in such a case.
