Proven. Repeated. Historic.
The verdicts and settlements that define Adams & Ham.
In March 2025, a Las Vegas jury returned a verdict exceeding $3 billion in punitive damages against Real Water (AffinityLifestyles.com), a bottled water company that marketed its product as “the healthiest drinking water available.”
The jury found the company liable for selling water contaminated with a toxic chemical commonly used in rocket fuel, which triggered a widespread outbreak of severe liver failure. The case involved 13 plaintiffs who suffered devastating health consequences, including autoimmune hepatitis, myasthenia gravis, and life-altering liver damage. One plaintiff alone received $54 million in compensatory damages.
This massive punitive award — delivered after just minutes of deliberation — reflects the jury’s strong condemnation of the company’s reckless indifference to consumer safety. Combined with prior verdicts in related cases, Real Water now faces total liability exceeding $11 billion.
This result underscores the ability of Adams & Ham’s attorneys to hold dangerous product manufacturers accountable and deliver justice on a historic scale.
