Case Details
A Philadelphia medical student, Marcus Gustafsson, who suffered a broken back in 2004 was awarded over $18 million (four years after the accident) after he fell over 20 feet through an uncovered manhole. The victim’s legal team was able to prove that the utility company Trigen-Philadephia Corporation was aware that some manholes were left uncovered and did not attempt to remedy the problem.
Additional Notes
Although the jury returned an astounding $85-million dollar verdict against Trigen, both parties agreed on a “high-low,” which means that the parties agree on a range for the jury verdict. The parties had set an 18-million dollar cap.
