{"product_id":"blindsided-9781722510015","title":"Blindsided","description":"In 1996, an unprecedented decade-long courtroom battle was waged in Florida to help bring justice and hope to the family of a young boy born with no eyes after his mother was doused outside of a local u-pick farm by a chemical fungicide believed to have caused his birth defect and the birth defects of many other children.\n\nIt was a battle that nearly everyone but attorney Jim Ferraro deemed unwinnable. After all, it involved one of the world’s most powerful industrial giants. In the process, it was a fight that changed the landscape of tort law forever. Before it was over Castillo-vs-DuPont would go down in history as the first and one of the most important cases of its kind, setting precedent and also sparking a crucial debate over the questionable use of what is known as the “junk-science defense.”\n\nBlindsided is a blow-by-blow account of how a lone attorney challenged a dangerous threat to public health….and how the defenders never saw defeat coming. It’s a real life David and Goliath story―a true courtroom drama for the ages.","brand":"James L Ferraro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48283535245563,"sku":"9781722510015","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781722510015_2311ec3a-fd0d-4821-a5e8-450610bf9587.jpg?v=1772486252","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/blindsided-9781722510015","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
