Case Summary:
Our client, a factory worker, suffered an amputation to his thumb while working with a cut-off saw machine. Galfand Berger Partner Rick Jurewicz was able to prove that even though as designed and manufactured the saw had a guard to prevent contact with the saw blade that the guard that was provided was inadequate to prevent an operator’s hand from accidentally coming in contact with the saw blade. This recovery is now Rick’s 40th case where he has obtained a verdict or settlement in excess of a million dollars.
Outcome:
Rick resolved the matter for $2.2 million dollars.
