I do Life Care Plans as the plaintiff’s past & future medical expenses, and past & future lost wages all appear within reason and credible. Zero clue how the jury came up with pain & suffering numbers. Curious of the additional monetary values since what is pictured does not equal $411M

EBR courts, judges, and juries have gotten a lot dumber in the last 20 years.
That’s about 330 million too much to go to the plantiff (which will also be minus the 1/3 pocketed by attorneys).

Seems like a terrible case to get in front of jury.
Wondering if they had a Hi Low agreement in place. We never did that but it’s popular now, no big winner no big loser.

I think it might have been better to give the poor man a little less money and bust Brock into 20 pieces.
Companies that big that do that much industrial work need to be dealt an extremely heavy hand when they go dirty.

Of all the verdicts to complain about, this doesn’t seem like the one. I’d imagine the jury ate up that idiotic Brock safety LinkedIn post.

$411M? Well that certainly won’t have a negative effect on businesses in the state! Good Lord, the plaintiff certainly should be compensated, but talk about ridiculously egregious awards. How can they begin to justify that amount?
That’s an absurd verdict
But… the defendant needs to be made an example.
You could have done that with 10 percent iof that

OT lawyers how are they getting these numbers when the employee is limited to what Workers Comp pays? Or is there a way to remove workers comp from the matter? Or is all of that just part of the appeal?
Understand that future medical and wages are part of workers comp.

Brock, and other companies who would cover up something like this, need to be held accountable. I'm glad they made an example of them.

I’m guessing Crazy Mike got it out of comp by his actions.
Or, the plaintiff didn’t work for Brock and sued them directly.
Has to be gross negligence by a fellow employee (or intentional tort) to get out of comp.

The first question on the verdict form asked if Brock’s conduct was intentional or if the injury was substantially certain to occur, which is required to get around the workers’ comp bar against suing your employer or coworker.
Plaintiff’s lawyer probably shouldn’t order the new Lamborghini just yet. It is likely going to be a considerable challenge to uphold that verdict on appeal. The courts are pretty strict on the intentional act exception.

Will they ever see a single cent of that?
Recently watched the OJ documentary on netflix and the families won a civil case that awarded 33 Million but never received anything

The comp/negligence determination had already been made. Plaintiff files under a negligence theory, defense files for Summary Judgment claiming comp is the exclusive remedy.
And it says they were co workers so no 3rd party negligence.

never understood how a district attorney is allowed to hold a private practice and represent plaintiffs in civil trial. Clayton is almost always involved in every high-profile injury case.
His participation in injury cases doesn’t make him any less effective as a DA. He’s been outstanding in his elected role.
