Early life, education

Jagolinzer was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island on May 4, 1974.[2] He graduated with a B.A. in English Literature and a minor in Italian Studies from Boston College in 1996.[2] In 1999, he earned his J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law.[2]

Jagolinzer died on October 18, 2022.[3]

In 2005, Jagolinzer became a partner at The Ferraro Law Firm in Miami[4] and is currently a shareholder at the firm.[2] He specializes in cases involving mesothelioma victims, product liability, toxic mass tort, and catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death.[5]

Notable cases

In April 2008 his client was awarded a $24.2 million jury verdict in Guilder v. Honeywell International, Inc. At the time it was the highest compensatory damage award against a single defendant in a Florida mesothelioma case in history. The case made The National Law Journal's Top 100 Verdicts for that year.[2] However, this verdict was reversed on appeal.[6]

Also in 2008, Jagolinzer was a key figure in convincing the court to declare the 2005 Florida Asbestos Statute as unconstitutional, in William v. American Optical Corporation. The now-defunct law limited the amount and types of people allowed to sue for asbestos-related injuries.[7]

Memberships

He is a member of the American Bar Association, Florida Bar Association, Massachusetts Bar Association, Dade County Professionalism Committee, American Association for Justice, and the National Italian American Bar Association.[2]
