| Verdicts and Settlements - Workers' Compensation |
Bernard v. Clearman's Steak and Stein -- $800,000.00 settlement of workers' compensation case involving back injuries.
Rosales v. Depuy Ace Medical Corporation -- $360,000.00 settlement for a man who injured his hand while working on a punch press machine at his place of employment. The machine was a 'punch press' and plaintiff claimed its point of operation guard had been disconnected. As a result, plaintiff sustained severe fractures to his hand and perforation to the nerves. The trial court granted defendant's motion for summary judgment concluding the machine was not the type covered under the punch-press exception to the California Labor Code. The California Court of Appeals reversed that decision. The California Supreme Court overturned the Court of Appeals, but not before a settlement was reached.
