An Oregon jury, in a rare class trial, awarded more than $62 million Tuesday to victims of the wildfires that ravaged the state in 2020.
The trial, held at the Multnomah Circuit Court, is the second in a class action of residents and businesses with property the wildfires damaged. Jurors awarded nearly $6.3 million in economic damages to nine survivors of the wildfires, and $56 million in noneconomic damages, according to coverage from Courtroom View Network.
