$4.5 Million Jury Verdict - Loss of Limb

Plaintiff was injured while working at an industrial stamping plant.  Our client was responsible for cleaning debris from the 2-story tall, several ton stamping press.  The management at the plant disabled several safety mechanisms that were in place to prevent the machine from stamping while a worker was cleaning the machine.  Plaintiff was in the machine cleaning debris when the press was engaged.  Our client was severly injurred by the machine, which resulted in the loss of his right arm and left hand.  The defendants refused to offer any reasonable monetary award to compensate our client for his injuries.  Our attorneys took the case to a jury trial, which resulted in an award in excess of $4 million dollars.
