Some of Mr. Jagolinzer's most notable jury verdicts for victims include the following cases where landmark legal issues were decided:

$1.8 million - Fla. 4th DCA 2003). Mr. Lagueux was a drywall finisher suffering with asbestosis and this was the first case in the nation in which a jury awarded damages against Union Carbide in connection with the asbestos it mined.

$1.2 million Fla. 4th DCA 2004). Mr. Kavanaugh was a carpenter suffering from peritoneal mesothelioma and this was Mr. Jagolinzer's second consecutive victory against Union Carbide and solidified the legal responsibility in Florida against companies such as Union Carbide who had previously claimed legal immunity as bulk suppliers of raw materials.

$2 million Fla. 4th DCA 2002). Mr. Zimmerman was an electrician suffering from pleural mesothelioma and this case solidified the legal responsibility in Florida of companies that negligently re-branded and installed asbestos products.
