Real Water ordered to pay $5 billion after liver failure outbreak

A jury delivered another multibillion-dollar verdict Wednesday against the bottled water company Real Water, which was tied to an outbreak of liver failure in Southern Nevada.
A 12-day trial ended with a jury delivering the $5 billion verdict against Real Water, according to defense attorney William Kemp, who said he helped represent 15 plaintiffs during the proceedings. 

• In June, a separate trial ended with a jury delivering a $3 billion verdict against the company.
  

Kemp said defense attorneys attempted to settle the most recent case for about $6.9 million, but Real Water’s insurance company wanted to move forward with a trial. He said he expects the insurance company to fight paying the recently awarded damages because Real Water has filed for bankruptcy.
